How Well Do You Think This Would Work?

I'm thinking about growing weed hydro. How well do you think this thing would work out?

I know I'd still have to buy lights and other things, but that's not a problem. I mainly want to know if the plants would be too close together for it to work. Any ideas?

Looks pretty overpriced for something you could make your self with less than $100. As far as the plants being to close together its not a big deal if you are doing a SOG or SCROG you should get very good yield.

Thanks for the input. I know I could make one for a lot less but I'm not very handy when it comes to making things lol.

All it takes is a drill, a hole saw, some epoxy, a few air stones and an air pump. You don't have to be very handy at all.

easy kamisori the stealth hydro thing lookes mint but like newgrowth said you could build one for half the price, saying that you can buy little peaces from stealth hydroponics to build your own version and be just as good if not better for loads cheeper eh, i would also agree with doing a screen of grean cause it would get a hell of a lot more yeild out of it, i built my own a few grows befor the one i am on now and the quality using hydro you can taist the difference straight away saying that i have gone back to using coco cause its so much easier,

hope kep us posted with what road you go down eh peace...........

I think that it would be fine for vegging, but once your plants get above 14 inches I think they'll have to be spread out further apart from each other for the light to get to all of the plant leaves.

If your not that handy, I wouldn't be looking into bubble ponics. It's a huge pain in the ass.
Try looking into the Ebb-n-flow method. It's alot cheaper and easier.

I will, but it'll probably be about a year before I can start growing, it's just too risky right now. In the mean time, I thought I'd just start looking into hydro.

Well, I was probably going to do a SOG so they aren't going to much more than a big fat top cola.

Thanks for all the input, everyone!

don't waste the money, search bubble bucket. get some research done before shoving out the cash

example of searching in the forums.......


The Bubble Bucket:
(1) Get two 5-Gallon buckets with lids. (Wash it out with bleach)
(2) Get a 6" Net pot.
(3) Cut a hole in lid of bucket so the net pot sits in neatly all the way
down.
(4) Cut a hole in the lid about 2cm in diameter near the rim (the pump
hose goes in here).
(5) Use Black gaffer tape to wrap the pot so it is light proof. (If light
gets in alga will
develop in the water. This is not good.) Wrap the lid as well.
(6) Get a fish-tank pump and air-stone.
(7) Get your medium together - rockwool, clay pebbles etc.
( Get the Nutrients and Mixes together

Simply mix your nutrients together in the second bucket. Set
the air-stone in the center on the bottom of the first bucket and hang
the air pump somewhere above the water level on the wall of your
grow room. Use the hole in the lid to feed the airline through. Fill the
bucket up with the nutrients to a level were the net pot just touches the
solution. Turn on your air pump for 24 hours a day. That is it. The
pump will send air through the tube to the air-stone and it is released
into the water. The air bubbles the solution causing it to splash at the
surface wetting the roots and feeding the plant. Check the bubbler
everyday to see how much your plant has drunk. Let your roots get air
everyday by letting a root zone form. Let the solution level drop an
inch below the net pot. The net pot holds the cutting in rockwool and the rockwool is surrounded by the clay pebbles. Do not constantly top
up your reservoir, it is sometimes better to let the water level drop 1
gallon and then replace that gallon. Once a root mass has develop the
plant will grow like no other. Basically this set-up is just bubbling the nutrients solution
with the pump. The pump sucks in air from the room and this air
contains Oxygen that the roots need. As the unit bubbles the roots get
air, nutrients and water. The plant loves this and thrives.
When you want to change your mix you may have a spare
bucket that is the same shape and size. Simply swap the lid over with the plant, root-mass and air-stone into the new bucket. This is a great
little system that comes highly commended.
