Hempy Bucket VS Bubble Bucket VS water farm VS Autopot, whats the best?

[Vincent_Gallo]

Peace guys

I got to check ut waterfarm and autopot systems in person, as for Bubble or and Hempty Buckets, i have been only reading online about them, i did pick up materials both for a Hempty and bubble bucket, i even ordered the auto pot (2 pot) set up for now., and im curious about water farm systems.

I also thought it was interesting to see things at a near by pet shop, i came accros water purifiers for fish tanks to control the PH, temperature and even auto feed nutrients, imagine using this in a reservoir with a auto pot or bubbler wet up, then i also found lizard and fish Florissant lights with higher watts, even Zoo Med Compact Fluorescent 10.0 UV Bulbs!, and i found some threads with people showing photos of these lights blended with there t5 set ups, they give great sun light power.

So i wanted to ask if anyone here has successfully used gear like i mentioned above to automatically control water quality,filter, temperature, Ph, even feeding the nutes from a reservoir or directly from a water pipe, and if these methods where successful because i see some gadgets here and there but no one seems to of utilized one simple system.

Well i have grown many different ways and what it really comes down to is how often do you want to check on things and how forgiving do you need your setup to be. i am currently using a Ebb & Flow system or also known as a fill and drain you can see if here http://www.greenpassion.org/f15/ebb-...ow-room-17107/ Now about the auto feeders and PH controller and auto nutrient pump. How much money do you want to spend is the question there. These systems only work if you have them set up correctly which is going to run you a lot of time and a lot of money. I had a setup like this and i still use it. It is run by having my computer connected to the setup. This allowes for the program i have to auto detect how much everything needs and when it needs it and so on. If you are interested in doing that type of setup you can ask me more about it and i can explain how to do it all but it only works on some growing types and not all so it will limite what you can use. The downfall with it is if you are new to growing you wont know how to apply all the items without checking your plants anyways, also it makes you feel like a douche because you dont ever have to check your plants which i love doing more than anything. I love looking them over and taking care of them, but to each is own. I still use that system for my expensive top breeds that i have been breeding for 14 generations and am still perfecting the breeds, i am also making a new strain which is no easy task but which i am almost done with. So let me know what type of grow setup you are interested in and i will let you know how to work and run them. I hope this has helped and i wish you good luck and a good harvest.
