First things first, I set about butchering the mother plant a bit. I removed about 6" off the top of the plant (Pic 1, quite a big clone), and then 5 more smaller cuttings (2 of which in pic 2).

Trimmed the base of the cuttings and put them in the bubbler. The water has a pH of 5.7 to start (this will rise a bit due to the airstones I would think), and an EC of 1.1 (~ 704ppm @ 640 conversion). I used Formulex to bring the EC to this level.

The bubbler is basically just a tub I bought from office world. It had a white translucent 'clip on' lid, so I sprayed it black.

I cut 6 holes in it with a hole saw (2 1/4"). It has two 6" air stones and a 2 outlet air pump (~300 l/h output) which gets the soup really bubbling! (Pic 3). I also have a 4 way valve which allows me to control the flow to each airstone individually, and in case I ever need more air stones, but that is unlikely.

I use pipe insulation (the foam type stuff) like stated in Bozo's bubbler thread to hold the clones in place. It does a great job!

Bubbler set up and ready to go! (Pic 4)
