Sorry about the color.... I had to light/wash it out because the flowering light made the pic. come out too dark.






400 watt HPS





I'd like to get in on this.... I have almost everything I need to qualify.

Bubbler bucket (painted black)
Pump (I will have to change the riser to a lower one)
Air Stones
Net Pots
Starter Plugs
Hydroton pebbles
PH Up & Down
Hanna continuous meter (PH, PPM, TEMP)
Room A/C
400 watt HPS
Dutch Master Gold.... (Complete series: Grow A&B, Flower A&B, Max Grow, Max Flower, Silica and Zone)
7 Fans (not pictured)
3 timers (1 of which is digital) (not pictured)
RO (not pictured because it's currently being shipped to me... but here's a link to the one I bought) Countertop Portable Reverse Osmosis 100-150 GPD - Great RV's and traveling.


The only thing I don't have is a grow using this method. I built the bucket bubbler.... but then read the hempy thread and went with that method for my first grow (which you can see in my light picture). My first clones died (I think because of the shitty water here) so I'll take more when my RO system gets here and get started on a grow using my bubbler.

If I'm successful I hope to participate.... if I fail... well then I guess I'll just have fun watching the rest of you participate :D

LOL.... I didn't get the impression it was a competition..... I took it as a way to compare nutrients to see if one particular brand works better then another. I thought that's why he wants everyone to have same seeds and as close to the same environment.

That's funny-I use the same RO----works great but very slow output-----my input pressure is 60psi and the unit puts out about 80 true gallons every 24hrs. My tap water comes out at 716ppm's-----the RO cleans it up to 17ppms----this is the third season with the unit and still producing good clean water:mrgreen:

That is excellent to know because my water is 500 PPM out of the faucet and I believe has been the source of many of my problems. Do you have the 100 GPD or 150 GPD? I bought the 150 GPD unit. Slow won't bother me as I won't need anywhere near that amount with my 4 - 6 plant grows.

I can't wait to see how my plants do with RO water. :D

OK
genfranco, and florida girl, are in.

You guys have the DM and AN nutes.

Now we need other types of nutes.
So no more AN or DM users.

Now we need growers using any other brands,
and you will still need to follow the directions
and post a pix.

The first guys who can do this,
are in also.

WOO HOO I'm in!!! I just went tonight and bought some distilled water so I can take some new clones before my RO machine gets here and get started on that requirement to have one successful bubbler grow under my belt before Jan 1.

I expect my RO machine to be here sometime next week... but I want to get those clones started tomorrow and the first ones I took died a miserable death because of the high PPM of my tap water.

I'm also looking forward to trying the Dutch Master Gold nutrients as I've heard GREAT things about them. I'm currently using Botannicare nutes with my Hempy grow... but I've had problems with them (again... could be the water issue). I'm going to use the DM Gold with my first bubbler grow so I can work out any issues before the challenge starts on Jan. 1.

I'm looking forward to this challenge.... should be fun :D

Well,
this is why we are doing the challenge,
to answer that question,
and not with just one persons opinion,
because the challenge will gather opinions,
from at least 10 growers.

We'll even have some soil grown,
which is going on right now,
for a couple of us to compare.

Soloman,
you snuck that picture in while I was posting,
and I didn't see it.

Welcome to the Challenge!

Thanks for following directions.

I'm sure you will have enough post,
to PM me before too long.

Here is jonnypotseeds WidowCindy,
I mailed them to him 3 weeks ago,
100% germ.

20 Days
