yeah i couldn't find the net cups anywhere.

thats quite an awesome setup man! I'm doing soil so I dont know much about bubble ponics but it looks real bubbly in there and lots of h2o !

yeah the bubble are suppose to make the water super oxygen enriched

Hows the grow going?

It was going alright until i added a little much nutes to early. I think they just need to recover. Ive diluted the tank alot so well see if there better in a few days. These so far are only about a week old.

do you think that they will work fine? I only have 1/4in holes and theres quite a few but should the roots be able to find there way through it and the rocks?

Cool setup man.

It seems to me that in all of the photos I have seen, the roots do indeed grow through the cups and rocks. I have no personal experience with bubbleponics though. Hope it works!

More holes at or in the bottom would of worked better.

Did someone give you some help or good advise? Then click this next to the Post number in each post, and leave them your name and a note.
Maybe they will give it back.

we made new cups out of wire mesh i think these new ones should work alot better ill put pictures up a little later.

also on another note on try to keep ph down, i went to the pet store today and the guys was telling me that when you put drift wood into a fish tank it will keep the ph pretty constant but im not sure what constant is but id bet that it is better than tap waters 8 or so.

The only thing i can think of that might help is using an opaque cup for your net pots so light doesn't pass through. Other than that looks like a great set up! Good luck and buy a cheap particle pen. Never attempt hydro with out one! Ever

what exactly is a particle pen, I'm not sure what it is.
