Q'S about my new bubbler..

hi everyone i just built a bubbler for a friend and wanted to ask you guy some things..

#1 do i have to ph the water if so what should it be?
#2 should i use root jel or powder?
#3 do i have to use any nute or just straight water?
i would really appreciate any help..
thanks..

Tell your friend to read up on basic hydroponics.. Tons of info in books and here on the forums, sorry thats my best advice before he starts to grow in dwc.

1) if growing directly in water shoot for 5.5 - 6.0 for ph but closer to 5.5 is better
2) gel for what? Are you talking cloning? If so it just varies how you're doing it. I dip into gel if i'm doing rapid rooters, if i root in my cloner i just put them in there with no gel.
3) need more info .... cloning or are you growing in like a 5 gallon bucket?

thanks a bunch buddy atleast somebody will help not like this ahole above you

it's a 30 site bubbler there like black pucks in the lid.. my understanding is u cut the clone put some root jel then stick it in the puck. i just didnt know if u had to ph.. u answer all my question thank you again...
..

If its an aerocloner(with water pump and sprayers) theres no sense to using a gel because its washed right off in the spray. Use clonex liquid.
Ph is important because certain nutrients are locked out but you're talking about ph'ing during cloning, clonex liquid calls for a ph of 5.5 to 6.5 but I don't know how important that really is, if you're growing you should have a ph meter at the very least.
No sense using nutrients until roots are established but clonex does have a NPK value which is 1-.4-1.

lemme plug my diy aerocloner with a couple photos....
I normally cut the bottom of the netpot off to just make it a collar so the roots don't tangle in the pots but I had a dumbass attack that round and didn't so I just popped the netpot and all in some soil (they're gonna be mothers).

if you dont know why bother.. it's pointless..

thanks for stoping by dbkick.. i had the ph@ 6.2 put it down 5.7 now... doing alittle test on the root jel some with some without..
it does seem useless to put anything on like u said it's just going to wash off anyways..
