Introducing the BUBBLEPONICS™ PRO EXPANDABLE KIT, extending the original system to now include a separate reservoir. Essentially doubling the reservoir capacity and allowing you to connect a second optional Bubbleponics® 6-planter to the system.
Bubbleponics™ is the art of delivering highly oxygenated nutrient solution DIRECTLY to the inner root zone. The days of merely misting the outer roots with nutrient spray are over. Gone too are the days of over/under watering, over/under feeding; the Stealth Hydro Bubbleponics™ system automatically maintains the ideal oxygen level of the nutrient solution so as to facilitate a healthy thriving root system.
Included with the Bubbleponics™ Pro system is Stealth Hydro's "High Feed Grow" and "High Feed Bloom" complete hydroponic nutrient powders. Stealth Hydro's High Feed formulas automatically pH balance (to approx. 6.2) for most water types.
Included in this kit:

Bubbleponics™ Pro 6-Planter
Provides a 6 gallon reservoir of nutrient solution. Features a shut-off drainage/connector valve. The tight lid houses six four inch net pots with feeder hoses attached. Add a second Bubbleponics™ 6 planter with a Pro Drainage Kit now for $100 (no extra shipping) and double your planting sites to 12.

|
Bubbleponics™ Pro Base Reservoir
This boosts the reservoir capacity to 12 gallons; and 18 gallons if used with two Bubbleponics™ Pro Systems. Features two drainage/connector valves. Has a snap on lid for easy access.
|
|
|
Six 4 Inch Net Pots
Strong and flexible net pots for repeated use.
|
|
|
160 gal/hour Pump w/ Feed Tubing
Powerful and durable pump ensures rapid circulation of nutrient solution.
|
|
|
Air Pump w/ 12 inch Air Stone & Tubing
A durable air pump feeds air to the nutrient solution via the huge 12 inch Air Stone, infusing the solution with tiny life giving bubbles, which get fed directly to the root zone.

Professional Hydroponic Nutrients
Stealth Hydro's High Feed Nutrient Powders provide you with a single application complete professional nutrient solution. Furthermore, Stealth Grow and Bloom automatically pH balance for most water types to approx. 6.2. The mix includes pH buffers to help minimize pH fluctuation.
|
|
|
pH Control kit
As plants grow they extract nutrients from the reservoir, in doing so, raise the potential hydrogen (pH) of the solution. This is particularly pronounced with large plants. Use the Stealth Hydro pH Control Kit to manage pH levels.
The included 80 pH strips have a dual test indication, delivering super accurate results. These are not the cheap litmus paper style strips most other places try to sell you.

|
|
Six Rockwool Cubes
Rockwool cubes are the ideal medium for starting seedlings or cuttings.
|
|
|
Hydroton Grow Rocks
Simply one of the best grow mediums on the market. It is clean, pH neutral, pH stable and perfect for Bubbleponics™ systems.

So, What Is Bubbleponics™, Exactly?
The world’s first continuous plant feeding system, Bubbleponics™ is a hybrid design that takes the best from both worlds of the bubbler and drip systems. Since the nutrient mix is highly oxygenated, Bubbleponics™ converts its drip function to a constant feed flow directly to the inner roots. Without needing to take breaks to allow the root base to drain and absorb oxygen, plants in the Bubbleponics™ system are able to deliver unparalleled growth energy.
This advantage is particularly pronounced during early vegetative phases when the plant’s root mass is still relatively small. Cuttings placed into the system experience no noticeable transplant shock and practically start growing immediately. In experiments measured against leading aeroponic systems, the Bubbleponics™ design shaved, on average, four days from a two week growing cycle, a 30% growth rate increase over Aeroponics in the early vegetative stage; truly amazing. As the root mass of the respective plants grow larger, growth rate advantages were less evident, however, the plants in the Bubbleponics™ planter maintained their 4-5 day lead over the aeroponic plants throughout the cycle.
In a series of stress tests, plants in the Bubbleponics™ system performed remarkably when recovering from an over-fertilized condition. With almost the entire root mass destroyed, Bubbleponics™ was able to revive 67% of the plants which started re-growing new roots and were able to complete their cycle. None of the other plants in the aeroponic products survived this stress test. The tests concluded that the Bubbleponics™ system provided significant recovery advantages over other systems when it came to anything that stressed or killed that root mass.
Hub Feeding Ensures Consistency
The Bubbleponics™ design is, ironically enough, one of the first hydroponic products to use real irrigation parts. This includes a hub feed system, where the main flow from the water pump is broken up into 6 smaller feeder tubes via a pressure regulating irrigation distributor. No other plants sites are thus dependant on any other as they would be in most drip systems that use T'ed designs. This also ensures identical feeding conditions at each site.
The Ideal Maintenance Solution
Stealth Hydro specifically designed the Bubbleponics™ system with maintenance in mind. Almost all the parts used can be obtained from a local hardware store. By using mainstream brands in the design it allows the end user to easily replace individual parts in a pinch throughout their many years of bubbleponicing!
Easy As Pie
Considering that there are no timers to set and tweak for the water pump, and that the unit is totally self contained and mobile, this is one of the simplest hydroponic designs I have ever used. From setup to final clean up, bar none, one of the best high speed hydroponic systems on the market. Bubbleponics™ has raised the bar and changes everything we are to expect from modern hydroponics.
