I am about to get started with my first closet LED grow, and have been doing the research about hydroponic growing systems.
I am intrigued by Buubbleponics, which is a fusion of deep water culture DWC along with a top feed drip system. The idea is that the top feed gives the developing roots a head start until the roots hit the highly oxygenated deep water, where allegedly they explode with growth.
Bubbleponics is big in the States, but not so popular in the UK. There are some UK systems such as Plant!it, or the Brummie Bubbler, that are available, but these seem to be for single plants only. In the US the Bubbleponic units tend to be large tubs with a number of netpots in the lid - usually between 6 and 20 pots per unit.
A good starting point was a company called Simply Hydroponics. They make their own units and also tell you how to make them yourself. One of their employees is a bit of a Bubbleponics Guru, his name is Roseman. He has a brilliant tutorial showing a full closet grow using a variety of Bubbleponic units, some homemade. He also gives loads of other great advice, my favourite so far is the home made Onabreeze machine on page 11, where he attaches a fan to a tub containing onagel for complete odour removal at a fraction of the £100plus that the Ona system costs.

I'm raring to go, and I am going to post my journal here, using Bubbleponics in a wardrobe set up using Helios 6 with CO2 augmentation using the Ecotechnics controllers and sensors. I'm planning on using House and Garden nutes, so I'm gonna need lots of advice and motivation.... i'm hoping you guys are the ones to do that for me... I'm talking 420UKChronic, FLOWERpower, Ledbud, Autoberry, LEDHydroponics, Hippiedays, Lilcherry, ECflouri and Godzilla, and of course anyone else I missed out!
I'm just putting the finishing touches to my drobe and hopefully will be propagating next week.
