hi ive read loads about bubblers but not to much on recirclative bubblers,ive got myself a 12 pod re bubbler system.
i went for the recirclative bubbler beleaving it to be superier over the standard bubbler because the nutrient solution is constantly moved around all of the system and there for stopping unstable ec and ph levels.

the logic behind this methods seems sound and fairlry simple,but im guessing it aint going to as straight forward as i thought,this is my first atemtp at hydroponics and before i dive in is thier any advise some experienced growers have for me before i start.
my setup consists basically of:
12pod recirclatve bubbler system
2 400w hps dual spectrum lamps
1 150mm extraction
1 150mm intake
oscillatang fans

im sure im gona come unstuck some were but hopefully advise here will limit the damage.

Thanks

ok ive just knocked up a quick diagram of the water movement for the system im going to run.


also each pod willhave a large air stone power by a air compressor,i amwondering if it worth putting a heater in the set up some were??
drpuzzled
ive redone that diagram with a little more detail



now i havnt tried this out yet still waiting for some bits to finish but if anyone can see any problems i might run into please let us know.
thanks

I think its better to feed in from the top with return back to the res gravity fed only, seems to me that it would circulate more this way. In your setup i would make an entry point & exit point opposite each other in each pod instead of it running by the side of them yinyang.gif Brad420 would be your man as he's running a system with connected pods, ask him fella

must be. i dont get it for one.
i can see how one gets its water circulated.

Your control bucket & the one with the pump in will be getting circulated ok but dont think the rest will be m8 sad.gif

i got to say that having seperate lines for feed and return makes much more sense than this kit ive brought.
im asuming the valves are to level out the pressure from the feed.
do you leave the system running 24hr no of period.im assuming it is left unning all the time.

Yeah - bubblers go 24/7, man. wink1.gif
