hows this setup for mothers. 5 gal bucket DWC

here is a pic of what i'd like to do. i'd like to run 4 large mothers out of this setup.

let me know what you think or if it will even work.

yeah that will work, as long as you follow all the hydro rules obviously. Personally, i keep mothers in soil because it is much much easier. Even a soil plant under cfl or fluorescents will produce plenty of cloneable branches, and it requires hardly any attention between harvesting it's branches. Also, my mothers are precious and it would fuck my op if they died, and things die in hydro a lot more then in soil. It's up to you of course, but i'd rather soil mothers and if i had money to spare id invest in some hid lighting to grow them under. That will produce many more clones then the "accelerated" growth of hydro.

just put the moms in thier own buckets fill the buckets with water and throw in an airstone and your done, why complicate things?

in bubbleponics like that does the airstone run 24 7?

Now I'm no expert in the subject, but yes I would think you need to keep that air stone running 24/7. Someone else with more knowledge could probably verify but I believe that's correct.

I am going to have to agree with the soil solution. I love hydro, but for mothers it's just way easier to keep em in soil. fewer chances for problems and no need for extra work keeping any more water systems clean and healthy than you have to.

alright thanks for the info on the systems.

i'm running two of the https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/156863-grow-2-lbs-2-x.html setups as soon as my clones root in my ezcloner.

would it be easier to order some 6" net pots and just get another tub like this and house mothers in one tub? keep all systems alike.
