Hey Krunch,

Awesome to see you kicking ass in hydro! I have gotten a wealth of information from your coco threads. Before coco, I have a couple years of running ebb/flow SOG with respectable results. I wanted to share my personal experience along with the logic and science to back it up.

The short version: flood more=more oxygen
flood less=less oxygen
caveat: keep roots submerged less than 15 minutes at a time.

longer version:

I have ran side by sides using both Rockwool and LECA to test the Urban Legend of overwatering in hydro; without fail my best results always come from the table flooded more frequently.

The science behind ebb/flow shows that new oxygen is mainly introduced via the flood/drain process. As the tray floods the old stale solution is displaced upwards out of the medium by the flooding water, as the tray drains, new oxygen is pulled into the medium via the vacuum created as water drains.

I had countless veterans read me the riot act and tell me I'm an idiot; but they run dirt because their Rockwool doesn't dry out fast enough for hydro and they say Rockwool is always over-watered.

By no means am I implying your method does not work; I just wanted to give you my real world results. Especially because I tested the difference in flood timing more than once with identical results.

I went thru the trouble of testing because science clearly shows more flooding equals more D.O.; while nearly everyone waits for the rockwool to dry out. This whole system changes in an organic medium; I did not achieve these results when using coco.

hope that helps....

Peroxide is a good start, You can also just have a second pump on a timer slightly ahead of your feed pump run it to the top of your rez shooting straight down to fully oxygenate before the feed. We are using keep alive bait areators now and they kick ass 100 percent oxygenation in a few minutes of run time. Do not buy the floating models get the thru hull unit if you buy one. HM

following closely. How do you keep your cola's propped up? Trellis? I have a 3X3...what would you recommend. I am in a tent.

Also..how much h2o2 do you use per gallon?

Love you Krunch!

Appreciate it! they just stay up like there on viagra. used to use trellis. but didn't need to this round. i hit them hard with a fan when they were in veg...
