18 gal is a lot. Remember you gotta flush it lots of times. I think the Stealth system has a 6 gal. and I think you can get 6 big plants.

I put 2 16 inch air stones in on the bottom and i used aquarium glue to secure it to the bottom. U need to buy a big air pump. I think i bought a 20 gallon and i tested it out and it didnt pump out to many bubbles, Im gonna go out and buy the 30 or 40 just to get more bubbles. The more bubbles u have the happier ur plants are

The stealth system is a 18 gallon container. Just because its 18 gallon doesnt mean ur gonna fill the container to the top. If u fill it a lil over half way thats only 10 gallons of water..

I had 1 plant that had brown looking roots comin out of the root pot, but the roots in the soup were okay...just like yours. never knew for sure if it was nute stain or a disease. Use 1tsp/gallon. You know it will kill organic nutrients dead. Just run it a couple hours than change your tank if you are using organics. If you're using synthetics, I think you can just leave it and it's gone in 2 days.
For water grows, keep your pH acidic and it'll keep your roots white. I'm between 5.2 & 5.8 throughout the grow. Never below 5 or above 6 for me.

pics of my home made stealth bubbleponics system. I put a 16 inch and a 12 inch air stone. I would do 2 16 inch if i would do it over.. This is an 18 gallon container exact same as the stealth bubbleponics

[quote="SICC";1945081]Damn thats looks good Dog, thats what i needa start fucin with here soon![/quote]
Thanks sicc i made it myself. The hardest part was drilling the holes in the cups then removing all the extra burnt plastic. Shit took me over an hour to pik all of the hangin plastic off. Its not a 100% done if u see the pump with the hose comin out. I need to get a plug for the end hose then drill 6 1/4 inch holes in the hose and run the 1/4 inch hose to each pod or cup. I will finish it soon but dont plan on using it until the summer.. It cost me maybe 50 dollars to make it tops when the stealth bubbleponics goes for over a 100 dollars easy

How do you check or add to the water level in there and measure the pH, ppm, etc? Can you get to it without removing the top with the plants in it? I guess I'm asking how you do that stuff...thanks
