Im stealing this from the cannabis bible:
The Bubble Bucket:
(1) Get two 5-Gallon buckets with lids. (Wash it out with bleach)
(2) Get a 6" Net pot.
(3) Cut a hole in lid of bucket so the net pot sits in neatly all the way
down.
(4) Cut a hole in the lid about 2cm in diameter near the rim (the pump
hose goes in here).
(5) Use Black gaffer tape to wrap the pot so it is light proof. (If light
gets in alga will
develop in the water. This is not good.) Wrap the lid as well.
(6) Get a fish-tank pump and air-stone.
(7) Get your medium together - rockwool, clay pebbles etc.
(
Get the Nutrients and Mixes together
Simply mix your nutrients together in the second bucket. Set
the air-stone in the center on the bottom of the first bucket and hang
the air pump somewhere above the water level on the wall of your
grow room. Use the hole in the lid to feed the airline through. Fill the
bucket up with the nutrients to a level were the net pot just touches the
solution. Turn on your air pump for 24 hours a day. That is it. The
pump will send air through the tube to the air-stone and it is released
into the water. The air bubbles the solution causing it to splash at the
surface wetting the roots and feeding the plant. Check the bubbler
everyday to see how much your plant has drunk. Let your roots get air
everyday by letting a root zone form. Let the solution level drop an
inch below the net pot. The net pot holds the cutting in rockwool and the rockwool is surrounded by the clay pebbles. Do not constantly top
up your reservoir, it is sometimes better to let the water level drop 1
gallon and then replace that gallon. Once a root mass has develop the
plant will grow like no other. Basically this set-up is just bubbling the nutrients solution
with the pump. The pump sucks in air from the room and this air
contains Oxygen that the roots need. As the unit bubbles the roots get
air, nutrients and water. The plant loves this and thrives.
When you want to change your mix you may have a spare
bucket that is the same shape and size. Simply swap the lid over with the plant, root-mass and air-stone into the new bucket. This is a great
little system that comes highly commended.
Ok so what do yall think? Im thinking of trying this in a stealth dresser. It has a grow floro tube but its only 75 watt. Ive got some basil in there now and it seems to grow fine.
