"Bubbleponics" describes a top-fed Deep Water Culture (DWC) hydroponic system. The basic idea of bubbleponics is you feed the plants right at their roots, but allow the roots to hang without a medium in order to get the most amount of oxygen and access to nutrients. The roots hang in the air and then eventually grow down into an oxygenated reservoir below. In a Bubbleponics hydroponic setup, you place a pump in the reservoir, and use it to bring water from the reservoir up to the plants at their roots. The water is pumped out over the plant's roots and then runs back into the reservoir below. To help further oxygenate the water, there is an airstone in the reservoir which pumps air into the water via a hose from outside the reservoir. Both the airstone and the water pump run 24 hours a day.

Bubbleponics will provide faster growth rates and higher yields compared to growing in soil. [1]
