Hi Everyone.
Ive been lurking for a while, leeching info to help myself produce some mega buds.
So Hi everybody!
Now, cutting to the chase.
Im ozzie but i will try to convert everything to imperial (easier for you i guess)
I have a 50L tub (13.20 Gallons. you call it "rubbermaid", mines food grade).
I have cut 1 x 6" hole in the top for 1 x netting pot.
I have hotglue covered the thing in black plastic (light PROOF) and plan on a making a white plastic dome to fit over everything (reflective)
Now i have 2 questions,
1. How would you best recommend i keep the water level at a constant level. Now i see the advantage of using buckets from a resovoir.
2. What size air pump do i really NEED, i have read 1w per gallon, ive read some really stupid things. I understand the bubbles need to break the surface tension to spash the roots.
Do you think 2 x 100LPH outlets with 2 x 6" air curtains would suffice?
Its a giant tub with a net in the top... 1 plant only. Im seriously thinking of drip feeding with a water pump to deliver nutes to the roots and keep them moist. and then rely on the air curtains for oxygen in the water...
I already have a SUFFICIENT pump (salvaged from my pond, bleached ready to go.) and tubing galore.
So basically is 2 x 100LPH stones/curtains going to be sufficient. (curtains is just "air stone tube", micro bubbles)
I only have limited access to shops as im not in a city. And shipping is always a joke. Im on a tight budget. So cheap and functioning is better then cant afford it, no bud...
Thanks so much guys, im going upstairs now to take photos of things so you have a visual.
