I hope it all goes well, I want it to be a cheaply priced webstore for people that want to grow hydro but don't want to spend a ton of money on a system, know what I mean? Start 'em out with legit systems & every single thing they need. Growing is amazing, and if I can help someone that wants to try it, try it, I will try my hardest

Yes, I have decided to give bubbleponics a shot for my next grow. Getting quite excited actually. I love DIY projects

Here's pics like I said. Two 13w 2700k CFL's - near the bottom of the plant to give the lower portion light. I am worried about rez temps raising
Looking good so far 
I only have the 4 24w cfls above my micro dwc. So far going very well, the roots look like a beard coming out of the netpot
Your budget hydro shop sounds like a cool idea, good for ppl who are on a tight budget and don't want all the bells n whistles a mainstream hydro shop would offer. That and the confusion of "what do I want /need? "
Heck my setup is 90% made up of recycled materials, I only bought cfls, nutes n airstone
Keep it up man!

Damn I've never heard that O.O I hope it's not, I just want more overall growth of the plant >.> please tell me you're wrong!
Haven't talked to you in a bit baskarz haha. My roots are the same way xD it's surprising how much they grow in a day or two, I'll get a pic of 'em tomorrow. They're deff touching the bottom of their rez lol.

Yeah I'm definitely hooked on bubbleponics. Such a simple system works so well! So far anyways, this is my first bubbler setup and I'm happy so far.
I'm setting up a bigger cab with a 150w hps in a DIY cool hood thingo and bubble bucket with a scrog screen mounted to the lid for easy Res changes

My next cab will have a 150w hps in it! Bubbleponics is dope.
Glock man, it's either the plants growth has slowed since I pushed it into flowering, or I did somethin'. The past couple of days since I noticed pistils the plant has slowed growth. Also I'm sure the plant is going to be way bigger than my cab, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to take it out of it's cab & put it in a closet, or my basement, or somethin' man. Worried lol.

Guys I need some opinions on my final grow box!
Here's my checklist for the build -
Two 3.5 gallon buckets w/ NGW bucket baskets as lids
Four 10" airstones (two per rez)
Two dual outlet airpumps (one per 2 airstones)
One Sun Systems mini 150w HPS light
Four 120mm pc fans, two for intake/ two for exhaust
I need opinions on the size of the box - the buckets are 12" in diameter at the top, so two would be 24", if I want to grow two plants at a height of 3-4 feet I am thinking a five foot tall box would be great, but what width/ depth? I don't know how I can gauge it. I would say 3ft. wide & 12"-18" depth would be okay but I have no idea how to gauge it. I would love to keep the depth at 12", would this be possible for scrog? or LST?

Got pH down & test strips - also got a digital thermometer for the rez. Temps are like 76 w/ lights on & 73 w/ them off. Temps in box (under light & on top of plant) are 86. Poop. Lol. Hmu niggas
Have some more picture updates my friend?
As for your next setup. I haven't used HPS lights before, but I am aware of the amount of heat they give off. I don't think the canopy will like the HPS if its only 1 feet apart.
Scrog, I still don't know how that is manageable with bubbleponics, considering how you have to change the rez, and in order to do so, you gotta lift up the netpot, and the scrog net my interfere?
That's about all the input I can give you, haven't done a bubbleponic system yet, sorry

Hey, that's actually a pretty neat idea! I'll definitely consider that when i assemble my bubbleponics soon
