This study entitled “Growth Assessment of Different Shoot Cuttings Bubbleponics condition”. Bubbleponics condition of shoot cuttings such as Molave, Dao and Mahogany, the three (3) premium species of tree, were assessed through the application of bubbleponics system. Bubbleponics system, also known as Deep Water Culture, is a method of plant propagation where the roots are suspended in nutrient which have rich in oxygenated water. It is essentially a top fed deep water system which pumped from the reservoir to the top of the roots. Thus, it helps significantly in enhancing growth in the first few weeks. This technology has advantages when being set up in the process of experiment. The roots get easy access to water from the beginning. It has high yields compared to the amount of nutrient that is fed to the plants. It promotes faster growth, so maintenance is not needed because it is very flexible as it requires minimum space. And these are pronounced during early vegetative phases when plants' roots mass are still relatively small. Moreover, the world’s first continuous plant feeding system is bubbleponics. It is a hybrid design that take the best from both worlds of the Deep Water Culture (DWC “bubbler”) and drip system. Since the nutrient mix is highly oxygenated, bubbleponics converted its drip function to a constant feed flow directly to the inner roots. Without needing to take breaks or use a timer to allow the root base to drain and absorb oxygen. Plants in this system are able to deliver appareled growth energy
