Gary,

Is the bottom left container a plant that is being overwintered? If so, why have it under lights?

Mike

 

[Gary18]

no its last years hydro plant.

 

[Gary18]

i know this aint to do with my leds well i might make a board for it but thats for another time i have been geting the parts together to make another bubbler soo i have used a recycleing box become a bubbler will help the world more than recycleing will and i have another recycleing bin any way so here is the bin

now i know theres holes just now but ill seal them up soon.

now i got 8cm net pots.

and here is the other bits and bobs the air pipe and some air stones

and im not sure what growing medium to use i might try afew

 

[Gary18]

also im not sure if i should do
5

7

or 10

i think i will start with 5 i can always cut more holes if i want to.

 

[Gary18]

ok i cut them out

also sealed up the holes in the tub

 

[Gary18]

ok so i scraped that other box as sealing those holes was a pain ok so i went to b&q and just got a box soo heres what i have came up with

 

[Gary18]

 

[Gary18]

also i am going to get bigger air stones and more of them i think

 

[Davetaylor]

how do you bring your plants on before putting them in the bubbler? Just in rockwool cubes until the roots are long enough to reach the nutes or do you use an aero prop?

 

[Gary18]

hey dave, i just use compost.

 

[Davetaylor]

what you soil grow them for how long? And isn't getting all the dirt from the roots before you 'go hydro' a pain cos box soil into the nute solution will mess with the ph.

 

[Gary18]

ehh no i wash all the soil off the roots so its ok and i just pick ones i think are big enough as i have loads of soil ones i think im going to do some herbs in this bubbler so im not to sure where i will put the ph because i think they like the ph difrent.
