Bubble Buckets

[mudshow]

Hello, I was wondering how long plants will live in bubble buckets with out air? I am curious if my power went out for 8 - 12 hours how much it would affect them? Any help? Thanks.

thats if your water stays below 80 degrees also-and depends on if your EC -PH levels are right-3 days is about the max you could push it before bad things started to happen-SWAMP BUCKET-no worries thats we all use RWDC

8-12 hours shouldn't hurt them at all. I would be more worried about light, unless your power went off in the dark part of your light cycle.

 

Cowbell has it about right. 3 days is the max limit I would leave them in without air. Otherwise it will get pretty disgusting in that bucket.

You can always manually circulate the water. If my power was out for more than a day or so, I would start making it a manual ebb and flow. Siphon or drain water out, wait 20 minutes, (during those 20 you can "blow" air into the water with a hand bicycle pump or something) and then pour back in. Do that a few times a day and you should be able to extend your time.

 

Light is the biggest concern, you don't want to stress them and get some hermies. couple days probably won't hurt most strains too much, but 3 days without light is a problem in my book. Maybe take em outside for at least a few hours a day.

could a person just add peroxide to the water after day 3?
