I use Bloom nutes with Pink food coloring in them, I use VEG nutes with Green food coloring in them. Made so I don't get them confused.
I've decided to go with a kind of hybrid Aeroponic/Bubbleponics kit I'm gonna make. I'm gonna use a Rubbermaid Roughneck 31 gallon for the reservoir (I picked up an extra one to make cleaning easier). Everything seems to be coming together really well. I honestly don't think I could have done it without you guys and the nice folks down at Nuggetry SD. I will be starting a grow journal soon... once all my equipment arrives and will make sure to keep you guys updated.

Since you can grow 6 full size plants in a 8 gal, why would you use a 31 gal? Man, that's a lot of work to maintain.I've decided to go with a kind of hybrid Aeroponic/Bubbleponics kit I'm gonna make.

I wanted something bigger than the SH kit and was stuck trying to decide between the 14gal and 31gal Roughneck tubs. I spoke to the guys at Nuggetry SD, where I'm enrolled in their grow class, and they both suggested the 31gal tub. The owner Nuggs even gave me a link to a DIY on his forum, HydroCanna.com, that uses the exact same tub so it works out pretty well. He's already built one of these and has the tools and knowledge necessary. The instructions say to fully submerse the pump. I think the rest of the overhead is to allow the net pots to hang down and the sprayers to do their thing. The tub won't be full, probably closer to half full so it shouldn't be too hard to manage. I'm also gonna get a 4-port air pump and four 12" air stones to go in the bottom. The width of the unit is just big enough to lay 12" air stones in there.

Dude not, trying to be the downer but, don't you find it a tad suspicious the guy at the grow shop trying to sell you the bigger res, which will require more nutrients which will require more trips back to their store on your first grow. Buying more nutrients when you'd probably only need half as much through your entire grow... Putting more money in their pocket.
The spell check on this forum absolutely confuses me.
No worries Jonny. I understand your concern and I appreciate you looking out for me. That would definitely make sense if I was buying my supplies from them. They're a non profit organization though and they don't sell growing supplies. These guys are taking time out of their weekend to teach a free growing class for us. They're not making anything on the classes or my setup so I believe they have our best interests in mind.
Also, and I just remembered this, I had already ordered the kit before I joined the class. They told me to keep the stuff I ordered since I'm just learning and I'm gonna lose money on shipping. It was my decision to return the SH kit anyways. I'm spending so much money on equipment, I'm just gonna go all out the first time so I don't have to go back and spend another hundred bucks or so to build another aero/bubble kit. I'm hoping the difference in yield between the kits will recoup my lost shipping charges (~$30). If not, oh well, I smoke more than that in a day or two. I've taken bigger hits lol... pun intended.
Btw, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on your new journal. White Rhino is one of my favorites.
Cheers

For what it is worth, I wish I would have gone your route my first time through. Instead I went with the SH kit. Great kit, great company, perfect for begginners or learning. Not knocking it in ANY way, in fact I love it. But, that said, this SH kit is TINY. Super small, and somewhat flimsy top ( I was warned before hand I need a super rigid, tough lid to support the heavy plants and big yields I am after). I only have two plants in there now, they barely have any room, had to stop veg earlier then I would have liked, and now have plants so heavy the are bending and warping my res and the lid.
A little more room, and a more rigid lid would be real nice things to have. The extra nutes, or moving the extra amount of water would really be a non-issue. Next grow will either be in indiviual 5 gallon style buckets, or in an ebb and grow system. Leaning towards E&G.
But this kit has allowed me to learn and experiment with hydro. Allowed me to get a better understanding of what is needed and how it all works. And was super cheap and easy to get it all started. It really is a great starter kit, and that is exactly what I am, and what I needed.
Ok, back to the ganj.

It's worth a lot actually! I almost feel like I alienated myself on here when I said I was returning the SH kit lol. Some people may not understand my reasoning behind it but that's alright and obviously you get it. I'm always gonna be straight up with everyone though, so it's nice to get some positive feedback and support on what I'm trying to do.For what it is worth, I wish I would have gone your route my first time through.

I find myself spending an alarming amount of money on medicine right now. I had planned on eventually growing, but this realization kind of sped up the process. I was initially gonna go stealth setup because of the apartment I live in but I don't think that'll be an issue anymore so I decided to go a little bigger. I'm just hoping I can manage it.

Aw, I wouldn't worry about it. You definitely didn't alienate yourself at all brother. The bubbleheads use all sorts of containers, and go about bubbleponics in there own way. Some very well known bubbleheads run their own home made setup. We all run different nutes, and just do things slightly different. That is what is fun about the site. You learn so much, and see so many other ways of doing it. You grow with bubbles, then your one of us ! 
I am also a medical marijuana user, and a heavy medicine user for a number of reasons. It is great meds, some of the best, but can quickly get pricey. I worked in a large co-op garden indoors for awhile, at the same time growing some more of my own outdoors. I have since moved, and needed to become self suffecient. Outdoor season wasn't long enough, so it was time to learn how to go indoor on my own. This kit, along with this site, was perfect.
Anyway, don't want you to feel left out or anything. Got any questions, I will do what I can to answer. I am sure plenty of other bubbleheads feel the same way. We are here to help.

Good luck with it. Hopefully you come over and post up on the Bubbleponics threads. Bunch of us bubbleheads over there, all more then willing to help if you need !
tell me roseman. Are round airstones better than long ones. I saw something somewhere that said they are better at not clogging up. I dont know the reasoning but I hope you might know

Order Total: $0.00, AMAZING customer service A+, took about a week and or so to get here after revieval date on packag ( canada ), awsome awsome awsome, if rose man reads this quick question where does the iriigation part go that seperates everything into seperate water hoses, cause i dont see any spot to put it

You put the 1/2' adapter on the pump, run the small piece of 1/2" hose to the irrigation manifold and then out the feeder tubes to the netpots. Be sure to have those feeder tubes flowing at a trickle and not a stream. Welcome fellow bubblehead! Join us!
