you need to be researching DWC or Deep Water Culture. that is the correct term for a bubbler that's the only reason you're finding limited info. as for the nutes there are too many veribles like the strain, the nute line etc for anyone to give you and solid advice besides use the nutrient schedule and maybe run it at 75% if you dont know your strains.

Thanks mate i will research it that way,an wen u say run it at 75% do you mean 75% of wat it says on the nute schedule cus it says to add x amount of mls to each litre each week so should i take out all the exsisting nute solution and change it each week or does it mean to just top up each week the nute solution i already have thanks again mate

Hey ganja.man,

We still need more info on your setup to help. Need to know exactly what your system is, is it just a bucket with an air pump, airstone and net pot or is there more?

Grow in peace.

I ran a bucket bubbler last run and was amazed at the growth ! I ph the water at 6.0 with the ph drops with color chart . You can get these at most pet stores in the fish area. I used the one part flora nova bloom the whole way and was so simple. Do some research on the lucas formula. hope that helps ! Make sure you light proof your bucket , i just used a black lawn bag , getto but worked well . I ran 1/2 strength nutes the whole way with no issues. Harvested 8 oz first try with one plant in a 5 gallon , waited too long to flip and stretched to 5ft. good luck
