Has anyone on AFN used a brummie bubbler before? Very curious about it
I was too, but not anymore. Upon very close inspection of pros and cons, I see absolutely no real benefit between a brummie and and equally badass DWC setup. In fact, the brummie has shitloads more potential to go wrong, imho
It's basically a huge DWC bucket with an oversized net pot (airpot) filled with an inert medium and a recirc pump to keep the airpot moist.
It looks quite good, but for what it's worth I would prefer a DWC with O2 temp control

I see what you mean, I've been doing the same with the pros and cons but the only thing extra that I could see going wrong is the water pump - not TOO much hassle. I wanted to include an Airpot in the setup but I guess if I don't mind top feeding for a little while I could still do that
Dunno... A water pump failure in DWC will let you plants root survive in water for a fair few dozen hours before drowning and roting. But if a huge root ball in an airpot goes without top feed, in a couple hours the plants is dry and dead.
Given then price to get it running, DWC is far simpler and cheaper to set up

sorry for the old thread bump but I'm thinking of doing something like this for my aquaponic grow.
Would like to use airpot for drip feed while vegging and then transfer into a dwc when flowering and allow max O2 for the root system.
kinda like a cartridge change out system, any chums seen anything of the like?
