here's what i've been wondering cg. when your plants are ripening up those last few weeks, how do you keep them standing and still be able to change the nutes? i.ve been thinkin about putting little holes around my lid to anchor a tomato cage in if that makes sense to you.that way the cage is attached to the plant and will come right off the bucket. you got any better ideas? i find it better to have a plan in effect before they fall or i'll be kickin myself later.
Well, this is my first time in bubblers,
So, I guess we'll have to wait and find out.

My stems are freakin Huge and they Are planted securely.

Almost planted better than if they were in soil.

As far as changing the nutes, I just pop em out of the bucket and set the plant in an empty bucket, then proceed to empty and fill the original bucket in the bathtub and add nutes.

The way I got the huge stems is from leaving my fan on high in Veg.

Builds em up like tree trunks. :weed:

Dude,

My ppm level is at about 3320(supposed to be 2100 max) right now, and the leaves instantly went into the "prayer" look After adding more water and beastie bloomz. Not more than 15 mins later my plants responded.

As you know the praying of the leaves is a sign of good health, or a magnesium deficiency(which Iam sure I do not have).

But, Maybe my girls are praying to God asking>> PLEASE TELL MY OWNER NO MORE FOOD!!!! Hahahahaaa! :lol:

Love that purple bud avatar!!!

I like the DWC and am curious if you run one sigle pump for all your buckets or if there all on sperate pump? Also your 15 plant limlit is the same as mine in Washington is that where you live? Thanks for your time and if you have any tips for me to run a new DWC system it would be a big help. :weed:

At the minute I run 1 general hydroponics air pump for four of my buckets. Here's the link. http://www.ecogrow.com/index.cfm/product/960/mid/21/nid/77/home.html

Iam also running another bucket with a seperate dual outlet pump(generic).

Tips..well, Make sure you have a kickass pump like the one in the link.

And make sure you use a manufacturer's feeding chart like this one>>http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/hydrofeed.pdf


And always keep your ph around 6.0

Best of luck to ya!!! CG :)

are you getting the controller that runs your fans and everything or are you doing it with timers?

The kit comes with a timer.

Im a little bit confused when I should have my canfan going.

Isnt the can fan gonna take the co2 out??

I like to run it at all times... hmmmm..

Closetgrowth: If your venting continuously because of a humidity problem you should vent that outside. I'm guessing you have intake also, so your co2 wont deplete as fast as you might think but it will suck it out at a small lvl, depending on cfm your pulling. Is your canfan your carbon filter/exhuast? what are your temps approx.? Co2 this run,or next run?

You could, unless you have heat exhausting through your can fan then out of the room. If it's just randomly pulling air in, cleaning it, then exhausting it, you could definitely let it just exhaust in the room. Only reason you wouldn't want to is if you're counting on that exhausting out of the room to reduce heat. If your temp is in check, go for it!

My temps are never over 70 degrees with the canfan venting through my ceiling 24 hours a day.

And yes, my canfan is my filter/exhaust.

And yes, Im using it starting tomorrow, got the full co2 tank, and kit :)

Thanks for helping out :)

Thats what I was thinking Colorado.

My temps stay fairly low all throughout the year.

So, Ill block off the air inlet, and outlet and run co2 the whole time...correct? :?

my exhaust comes on for 15 min before the co2 then rinse and repeat. the extra heat will do em good. i suppose you could leave it recirculating the rom at all times? unless carbon affects co2 in some way. hmmmm

i'm not sure cg cause if your ppm's get outa control from lack of exhausting the room they will burn. i think you should exhaust your room once an hour or every two. then refill with co2.
