There's the aerator hanging from the power strip and feeding into the front of the tub and connects to the airstone in the bottom of the tub.I have a box about 2x2x5 with a power strip inside. Two CFL low heat lamps about 85 watts each. I use blue spectrum lights for vegetation stage and I switch to a red spectrum light and a blue spectrum light for flowering.
During flowering I also add a 150 watt sodium lamp.
I started with the bubbleponics system from Stealth Hydro and for my needs and tiny space it has worked very well. Tub, aerator, water pump, net pots, maxi grow and maxi bloom feeds.
After about 4 weeks in veg stage. This is a dwarf variety.
Exhaust port in upper left. There was a small computer fan in there, but it died and I made an external fan upgrade. Power Strip connects to timer with 2 CFL lights connected, air pump and water pump powered up. Note the dog choke chains for raising the lamps as needed. Just a coffee cup hook at the top.
Air hose entering tub through premade hole.
That's the top from a HandiWipes container. I thread the power for the water pump through that and some hydroton and cut a slit in the bottom of the plastic cup. The cups help keep the tank dark as roots prefer the dark, and they provide easy access to the tank water.
150 watt High Pressure Sodium Lamp
Exhaust fan and ducting at left. pH down is used all the time in moderation. pH Tester by Oakton...I wouldn't want to do another grow without one. Throw away your test strips and buy a meter.
One week after going to flowering cycle. Note the blue spectrum light and the red spectrum (on the right) light.
