Grow Mediums the root spa DWC

[obeymybud]

So after about a year and half of dirt growing I'm about to jump into DWC full force.
This is my first attempt at anything other then soil So I got this root spa setup at my grow store its very simple and cheap no air stones to play with. Im using the cyco nute line up with GH's cal magic with orca on the way. Growing dinafem blue cheese auto this was FIRE in soil so hope it carries over in DWC I started the seed in soil then after a week I got it started in the bucket so it had a ruff first week or so so now its about 2 1/2 weeks from seed now.

What are you using instead of air stones?

Lookin Good obey!!! Making the jump to DWC myself, soon!!! Hey real, you plug the air hose into the top of the drain tube and it bubbles the solution. BUT.....If you want HUGE plants, go with a bigger pump, and a air diffuser!!! That will be my new setup soon!!!

Cool I was looking at the 4 pot set up, I only have a stealth box right now thats 18 x 18 with 1 plant but want to build a larger box soon.

Obey, are u running only air hose? No diffuser? How many lpm does ur air pump push?

 

[obeymybud]

Yes only have the air line feed into the tube on the side of the bucket. I am running the pump it came with 2-Watt 3.2-LPM Active Aqua Air Pump with 1-Outlet.

Two things I didn't like was it only comes with the huge net pot buying smaller ones for my new buckets. The other is with the air coming in the bottom side of the bucket it only seemed to bubble up the side it comes out so I bought some extra 5/8'' hose I think it was anyway added about 5'' to the elbow inside the bucket so it bubbles right up the middle now.

ok 8 days later update time. This is my first time with the clay rocks I cleaned them for about 20mins. and this stuff still makes a mess in the bucket and in the roots.
