Bubbleponics - Nutrients

Hey guys, I got a Stealth Hydro Bubbleponic starter kit (with all accessories) and I was wondering if anyone might could tell me the best (or at least really good) nutrients to use with that. Got the rockwool cubes, hydroton medium, and also got the seedling starter kit. Somebody point me in the right direction, I can see this turning into a discussion but I am a beginner and this WILL be my first grow, I'll be planting Blueberry (YUM). Also I was wondering, how well does the bubbleponic system do with clones? Can u start clones with a bubbleponic system?

Roseman has a thread all about Stealth Hydro's Bubbleponic system, I just bought one too expected to be here this thursday! Can't wait!

use fox farm nutes

Fox Farm is trusted by SO many people, and I'm doing a lot to increase my yields, augmenting CO2, tons of great grow lights, this hydro system, advanced and up-to-date gardening techniques, and a grow tent. Yall can understand why I wanted to go with the best possible nutrients. Oh and I'm growing blueberry btw. Supposed to be a good strain, got them from Peak Seeds. What do you guys think?

i think you should make a journal of your first grow (like I am doing atm)
include pictures!

In Roseman's posts, he said he prefers the nutes that ship with the Bubbleponics system and has gotten great results with them.

use the full line of fox farm nutes, thers like 7 differnt things, i use 3, and add molassess when flowering, ill post a link on here that has the feeding scedule for all the foxfarm shit. when i find it

Actually, the fox farm line works well but there is a possibility of organic buildup, according to the stealth hydro guys themselves they never recommend the use of organic nutrients with the bubbleponics. I made the mistake of using purely organic nutrients in my bubbleponics... destroyed them, a black sludge built up that was like nothing I had ever seen and choked my plants roots to death. So if you use foxfarm, skip the BigBloom, it's not needed and could cause issues, stick with grow-big hydroponic and TigerBloom. Those are mostly synthetic.

hmmm, alright. I may just wind up going with Stealth Hydro's, they've been cool to me so far so I think I'll give them a chance I'll start a grow Journal as soon as my seeds come in. Preciate the feedback!

I have had my bubbleponics for about a week, my seeds came in on the 12th, I called the guys and they told me what to do, put 3/4th of the grow into it when you first start...I thought a little wacked since the seedling shell is its nutrient for a lil while...but I planted 5 white berry seeds 2 days ago and plant 1 and 5 are showing and the others are soon to follow...I check my ph level everyday...the lights the rockwool cubes are awesome...mind you I am a Neeeeewwbie. So I happy...its a good system and you can call them and ask anything...about the system and they will answer you right away by email.....use bubbleponics products...so far so good

Bro-

I would definately try another strain for your first gro- I made that same mistake on my first and lost lots of valuable time out of my investments due to the unstable genetics of the blueberry cross- I would recommend a much easier strain for a better return on your time and patience try Northern Lights or Sensi Star is a great first time grow... anyhow I dont wanna give you any doubts if you need any help on blueberry let me know... I got some cookin right now

Bro is who I am not...anyways


I have been growing outdoors for a while...I am going to take my chances...I have white berry...coming 2morrow is ice,blueberry, and I forgot the other. I have been reading for years and years and years and now I am doing it. I have confidence in myself and so far so good, now plants 1,3,5 are opened and its been 2 days...got awesome smarts...so you all will see. Dont ever doubt anyone!!!!!

1/2 strength foxfarm...I haven't had any problems using the big bloom like someone posted earlier. I just don't use large quanities of it and do a water change every 2 weeks. During flowering I wait 3 weeks to do water changes.

Now that you have a bubbleponics system and you can see how it works...it's way more fun to build your own and customize it.

I'm sure with you guys' help and the quality grow equipment I'm using it'll go fine. But I'm sure I couldn't do it without.

Word. I've definately got some plans in the making for a bubbleponic system, made for easy LSTing. But I need to get some grows in before I start seriously building my own systems and all. Experience is the best teacher, and I'm sure I've got quite a learning curve ahead of me.

so how is it going with the grow?

Still anxiously waiting on my seeds Roseman! But don't worry. I'll have plenty of high quality pictures of my grow updated daily from day 1 (germination) , you'll be able to see everything, my methods, my products, my plans, everything. I may need help. The first question I have, is where do you suggest I go to buy some water and what kind. There are no specialty shops near me, just the regular stuff. Wal-mart, lowes, home-depot, Kroger, K-mart, mom & pop hardware shops, a few gardening places that pretty much carry the same stuff as the gardening centers at the above mentioned places. Also I don't have any PH up and down, any local places carry that stuff? Unless u think I'd be better off buying pre-PH'd distilled, if u could tell me where to get some. I was told the optimum PH level for a hydro app. is 5.2.

Purple, do yu ahve a friend with a well, well water?
Then use the cheapest bottle water you can find.
PH UP should not be needed, and PH down is at the Aquarium Department at Walmart. Some people just use baking soda, but I do not know if that works good or not. Look at GROW FAQ at the top of this page for more info. I stay at 5.5 to 6.5 and do OK. changing it often is a big NO No ! and if you do have to change it, do it a very very little at a time.
