bubblers are dwc(same thing)...aero is nice, because it recirculates allowing for easier nute management and labor...I am building recirculating swc/aero system...currently grow in dwc and it kicks ass....The only problem with dwc is nute changeout each week, if you go with this method, I would suggest filler tubes at the top and drain tubes to a main res at the bottom...trust me...when your plants get 3-5 feet tall changing nutes can be a bitch...hope this helps

Cool, you're from South Africa?

yes im from SA why do you ask Stormcooker, Does that interest you

it's cool to chat with people all over the globe. At least you have a good hydroponics shop to buy product from. Some parts of the world are desolate and without variety of equipment and supplies. Here on the east coast USA we have probably 100 stores to choose from with tons of variety of prodduct. What a country!!!!!

Your hydro shop sells the Flora series 3-part nutrients by General Hydroponics. It is pretty easy to use, affordable, and there is lots of "recipes " for growing cannabis with it. That "grow buddy" sysytem on the website is probably very good, but for only one plant. You can build one if you do some homework or import one from any hydro shop that exports. I use the American Hydroponics "Baby Bloomer" ebb and flow which is small, but perfect for 2 or 3 plants with a 250W HPS or 400W. It costs $165 US.

well my setup is basicaly a cupboard about 1.5m x 0.5m and i have a 250w hps also got four plants growing in there i think it might be slitley crampt

better to be cramped than to be empty, I always say...3-4 5 gallon bubblers would pack that space in no time!!!

fair enough
i will have pics up by the weekend so hold on and keep checking
