Top- Fed DWC Cannabis Setup Guide - Bubbleponicsby Sirius Fourside. Table of Contents. Introduction. Pros & Cons of Bubbleponics Method. Bubbleponics Grow Journals. Overview of Growing Cannabis with Bubbleponics. How to Make Your Bubbleponics System. Start Growing! Introduction. Welcome, fellow cannabis growers! This Bubbleponics grow guide will show you how to go from planting your seed to actually enjoying your cannabis buds in just 3- 4 months using an efficient hydroponic system that fits in your closet. I decided to make a tutorial about growing marijuana with Bubbleponics because I've found it is not only one of the best ways to produce consistently huge yields, it also allows for a quicker harvest than pretty much any other grow method! Did You Know? One of the major advant ages to Bubbleponics and DWC is actually the air being bubbled up through the water. The bubbles give your roots more oxygen than they could normally get in soil which contributes to getting significantly faster vegetative growth! Before I get started, I want to give a quick shout- out to a gracious fellow named Roseman who, long ago in the vast reaches of the internet, wrote a tutorial on Bubbleponics that actually made growing cannabis in water seem accessible. That simple guide made it possible for someone like me (who'd never grown any type of plant before) to succeed and I've grown cannabis with Bubbleponics ever since! Over the years I've learned exactly what you need to do to get consistently great results (as well as what doesn't work), so I decided it's time to pass the knowledge on! Hopefully this step- by- step walkthrough will make growing weed with bubbleponics even easier for you to get into! If you follow the simple steps outlined in this tutorial, you will great yields on your very first attempt! Pros of Growing Cannabis with Bubbleponics: Yields - Very high yields compared to the amount of light/nutrients/time that goes into each plant. Lucas Formula using General Hydroponics FloraNova series. This is probably the easiest (but not cheapest - see MaxiBloom above) feeding plan available.

Faster Growth - Super fast vegetative growth. In particular, plants grow faster in the first few weeks of the vegetative stage than with any other method. No Bugs - Much less likely to get bugs or other pests. Potency - Perceived potency seems to be higher with cannabis grown in hydroponics vs. Unfortunately, the benefits of the top- feed decrease as the plants root system grows larger, and after a certain point the top- feed becomes unnecessary. Root Rot - Your cannabis roots are more likely to suffer from root problems like root rot when growing directly in water. However, root problems are easy to prevent with a little preparation! Must Keep Heat Under Control - Maintaining a proper temperature is important for the fastest growth and healthiest roots in hydroponics. That means you will likely need a proper venting/exhaust system to control the heat if you're using hot grow lights. However, bubbleponics works astonishingly well with high- powered lights if temps are kept under control! Smell - The smell of hydroponically grown buds may not be as complex as organically grown buds. The roots are allowed to hang with only oxygenated nutrient water as a medium in order to get the best access to water, oxygen, and nutrients. This allows your plants to grow much faster as a result! Bubbleponics/Top- fed DWC is basically the same thing as DWC except for one small, but important, addition. A small stream of that same aerated, p. H- balanced nutrient water is trickled over the young roots of your cannabis plants. This encourages the roots to grow faster and reach the reservoir water in less time, making for faster growth during the first part of the vegetative period. The roots are allowed to hang with just aerated nutrient water as a medium in order to get the best access to water, oxygen, and nutrients.

Here are a few journals of growers using Bubbleponics: Overview of Growing Cannabis with Bubbleponics. Here's a simple diagram to show you how growing cannabis with bubbleponics works: Growing Cannabis with Bubbleponics Diagram. As you can see from the diagram, the cannabis roots have unlimited access to the oxygenated, nutrient- filled water, as well as plenty of access to the oxygen from the air space in the reservoir. You can use almost any hydroponic nutrients formulated for cannabis that don't have organic stuff to clog the pumps, but I recommend the General Hydroponics Flora Nutrient System since it's simple and relatively inexpensive, yet very effective. A Few Starting Tips: Growing marijuana really isn't that complicated, people just make it seem that way! Marijuana is a fairly resilient plant, and can survive a fair amount of stress. Ideally, you want your cannabis plants looking pristine through the whole grow but don't worry if your plants get a little beat up along the way. I've had plants look rough towards the end and still produce high quality bud! If something is wrong with your plants but you can't figure out what it is, change the reservoir water. There is a wide array of problems that can be fixed by a reservoir change! Use less nutrients than indicated by nutrient labels. Feel free to experiment and see how your plants react to different amounts, but treat the amount specified on the label as the maximum amount. I suggest starting off at 1/2 of the amount specified. Be nice to yourself! This is likely a new skill to you and there's no shame is making mistakes.. I made many! Answers to a few questions we get a lot. A power drill and a hole saw is the quickest way but you can get creative (carefully!) with a box cutter or sharp scissors.? Should I just drill one hole? After thinning out to just one or a few plants, I still use the extra holes for easy access to the reservoir/roots. However, you could definitely just drill one larger hole, or any combination of holes depending on your needs. Is it even worth it? Yes, it is worth it! Longer answer: Bubbleponics without the top- feed is just DWC (Deep Water Culture) which is already amazing for growing cannabis. The top feed takes the same idea and speeds up the beginning at the cost of a little extra setup/power. It ends up being a personal choice, but I use it every time I do DWC. How It Works: Here's the short version. Cannabis Plants have five factors which are important to good growth: Light, Water, Nutrients, Air (including temperature and humidity), and a . The main difference is that instead of using soil as the medium, you use nutrient- filled, oxygenated water. The plants also get an added bonus of having some of this water pumped over the base of their roots. These two things make it so that your plants will grow MUCH faster than if they were in soil, coco coir, perlite, or pretty much any other medium. Your cannabis roots would drown in the water except that you pump in and dissolve oxygen directly into the water; this is why you need an air pump and an airstone for your reservoir running 2. Setup. Area Setup: You should always clean and vacuum out your growing area before you start a grow (for bugs, dust, mold, etc.). You may also need to have your reservoir raised off the ground depending on how you plan to drain it; we'll cover that in a bit. I use a battery powered pump (which I recommend), so in my case raising the reservoir isn't necessary. You need to be able to keep your grow area in complete, uninterrupted darkness for 1. Giving your plants even small bursts of light during their dark period can cause weird things to happen and none of them are fun. There are different advantages to setting your dark period for a certain part of the day (electricity cost, heat management), but it's a good idea to plan your dark period around your schedule so you can make sure to see your plants while the lights are still on. About Cannabis Size and Height: Your cannabis will need room to spread out a bit, so you'll want to keep the total number of plants to 3 or less in a single system. The more plants that go into a single reservoir, the smaller each plant will need to be. I generally grow only 1 or 2 cannabis plants in a top- fed DWC system at a time. You want to keep your plants short, and should therefore start the flowering stage when your plants are around 1/2 of their final (desired) height. So, if you want cannabis plants with a final height of 4. To account for the flowering stretch! These numbers aren't set in stone, but some cannabis plants will double or (rarely) even triple in height after changing the light schedule to 1. The aim is generally to try to get your cannabis to grow wide and flat like a table. However, you don't want the plants to get crowded and end up having them compete for space, so it's a good idea to make sure that each cola (main stem) has a few inches of open space around it. Because your cannabis can grow so fast in this setup, it's imperative that you keep a close eye and don't let them stay in the vegetative stage too long or they will grow into out- of- control monsters that take over your grow space! Grow Lights: There are many lights to choose from and a large number of ways to hang them. This page about different cannabis grow lights goes over the options in more detail, but we'll give you the basics here. I initially started with CFLs for my first grow. These were great for a small scale grow due to their low setup/maintenance costs and the fact that they don't give off very much heat. If you're worried about getting your feet wet in growing cannabis and don't want to spend too much money, CFLs are a good place to start. We've also heard from many growers who have been having success with using the smaller LEDs made for home use. Metal Halide/High Pressure Sodium (MH/HPS)These are the type of grow lights I use most frequently. Check out a grow journal using bubbleponics under a 6. W MH/HPS grow light. These powerful lights are pretty much seen as the golden standard for indoor growing lights. Canada Shopping: Buy Appliances, Mattresses, Furniture Online. Sign up for our emails and.
