First Hydro Grow

I built myself a home made bubbleponics system, 30 gallon reservoir with 6 sites at 6" each.

I am running 3 t5 flourescent light bulbs and I have an air in take a fan and I am using Jungle Green nutes and B1 for stress.

I started out by germing 11 seeds in the system I ended up getting about 6 to pop a root and they all rotted except for one.

I then orderd 10 more seeds and germed them in 24 hours in a glass of water and then transplanted to rockwool which I water every 4 days or so.


My origianal plant from the first batch is about 3 weeks from seed and my others are 1 week, they are ate very differnt stages of life, but I think the origianal was stunted becaus of too much water so the others will catch up.


I will put the new seed sprouts in the system in a few days with just water and no nute and in about a week I will start with low nutes.

I found that if I keep my timers to feed them for only half hour once a day once thay start to get there first couple of roots it works alot better, I am not sure how you are getting the SH systems too work with 24 water feeding.

Anyways I will post some pics eventually but I dont have a cam now....

This is my first grow so any help would be appreciated


Oh and by the way, I keep my PH about 6.5-7

Water temp 20 celcius
room temp 25 celcius

Everything sounds pretty good! The only thing I would recomend is to lower your ph to 5.2-5.8. For soil its 5.8-6.5 and dont fert so soon. The way they grow in bubbleponics systems is allready amazing without the nutes. My ph is 5.2 and I dont feed till 3 weeks after they have sprouted. I start at 400-500ppm and slowly go to 600-800 for veg and 800-900ppm for flower then 900-1000 in late flower. Good luck with your grow and welcome to RIU. Enjoy!
