I recommend General Hydroponics MaxiGro and MaxiBloom for beginners and professionals because its easy to use, produces the dankest results fast using all the levels of nutrients that my plants need, promotes root growth for seedlings, produces some amazing buds, and it automatically ph's my water.

yhea that is some good stuff.cheap to like 30.00 for the 2 of them not bad. what is your ph at 5.5? I was at the hydro store yesterday. I saw there drip system and it was above the plants dripping down on to the hrdrotone from above. not from below going into the basket intresting. you might want to put a bubbler in the bottom of your res to produce oxygen.

yeah if i had a drip system going i might have the tubing from the water pump on the top, but I am using an air pump that hits each plant with bubbles of oxygen and watery nutrients from underneath hence Bubbleponics. Some people also have misters spraying inside their resveroir which also does the same thing. These methods accomplish the same thing Koolhand.

Here are some similar systems. The First Is the original drip system which you can make by using a water pump instead of the air pump i use and by runnin the tubing on top to drip to each site. Then the original DWC does what my bubbleponics does and bubbles water to each site. They also have a mister that sparys from the inside of the reservoir on HTG. Then the last is the Monster Plant Ebb&Flow 5 gallon, that uses the same air pump I use with an airstone to keep the site hydrated.

I saw the tubes I thought it was drip sorry bro i have an air stone I kinda have the same setup but micro.I would love to do a big setup some day. The wife will only let me have three plants.

The Elite 7 nine nine pump is actually just 6 bux at pets mart wow i paid 13 from my headshop, o well shop pets mart before head shops that have grow equip, I just picked up one 5 inch airstone, I am going to get one more and another pump and this should be competenet for four plants

kool man good stuff check out my journal... let me know what you think.

Soo excited I just ordered from the Attitude, Greenhouse Seeds Arjan Strawberry Haze and a shirt, its a social creative high thats smells like candy strawberries and taste like them too! I will keep everyone posted on the five plants plus my other 3 purps! Kind of scared that they might go hermie but wish me luck!

Check out my signature...

nice setup diggity, I switched from tubes bubbling air to the site to this 5 inch airstone that does a shitload better, plus a cool pic from the zoo yesterday

These seeds sprouted on Aug. 27th and have been feeding on the seedling amount of MaxiGRO FROM GEN HYDRO and the roots look amazing!
This is what my plants look like in nine days.....

Tubes?!?!?. Yikes.

Yeah, you need airstones to create all those little bubles. I don't think big bubbles will dissolve too much oxygen into the water. Good luck!

What about changing the water? I got my plants in 5 gallon buckets each and even those are a bitch to change the water! For my next grow i was gonna do something like your setup. Anyways looking good so far, my plants are are 5 weeks from harvest!!!!

Ya know, the best thing about my 3gal tubs is that the lids fit perfectly right on top of my toilet with the seat up, plants, roots and all. Then I just dump my rez in the bathtub and start a new nute mix while the ladies sit in the biggest bowl they will see.

Lol wow i hope thatsnot the best thing about your setup haha, doesnt it grow dankness? The tubes blowing air into the hydroton and water caused some pretty good bubbling to the root medium and would have been even better with a decent pump but now I love my Bubble Disk and Pets Mart lol. Well I have seen some hydro liners that line your reservir and you can throw away after each grow, if cleaning up becomes a problem i could probably line the bottom of my reservoir with a trash bag and throw it away after. I do similar, i just set them all in the bathtub and rinse out the reservoir

Added a bunch of more nets, check my sig to see what they are, ill prolly add two more nets in the middle for Arjans Strawberry Haze, these will all be transplanted, then this dwc will be a cloning reservoir ;0

nice man good looks.

HILIFE what are the dimensions of our system i see there with the 7 plants. i wondering for my next grow how many i can get in. Wondering any body how deep the rubbermaids have to be. Saw some long ones only 6 or so inches in height, so 6 inches deep i mean. any experience?

Mine is a 10 gallon roughneck, I cant look at the dimensions written on the sticker right now but will update when I do. It is about six inches or more deep. I recommend 2-5 gallons for each mature plant unlesss you are using this thing for cloning or you are going to transpplant them, try and give each plant enough of their own space.

ty, repped u there. i got a 4 by 4 by 6.5 tents coming. How many plants u think i cud fit with a 400 watt hid in there.
