There are so many Variations possible for Hydrosysthems and like with every style of growing there allways poeple having alot of success. Im pretty lost with all that information around these boards regarding hydro, as i havent used anything except soil and coco yet.
As seen in the Stickies and other popular threads, from hempys to buckets with just an airstone to complex deep flow recirculating systhems and Aerotubes with Sprayers, Ebb&Flow or whatever nearly everything seems to produce great Results when properly operated.
Would like to expand my experience on hydro systhem but i dont know what Systhem to choose
So my Questions:
1) Whats the drawback of using an Airstone in a closed bucket ?
2) Do Roots grown in a Aero Environment(nft,ebb&flow and other hybrid systhems) support better Yield then Roots grown in Water(all kind of dwc)?
3) When using a DIY recirculating Bucket Systhem, how does one control the Waterlevel in the Buckets? I know the intake is usually 1/3 the Size of the outtake, but what if the pump doesnt have enough power, wouldnt the waterlvel be lower over time. What if the Reservoir is lower then the Bucket?
4) Is introducing organic Additives like Molasse(with or without added Benficals) worth the trouble?
Thats it for now, thanks in Advance
PS: Im thinking about using a airstone fueled bucket for my first llitle try on real hydro(coco isnt hydro lol). One tubing of the pump would fuel the diffuser ring at the bottom of the bucket and the other would drive the additional dripper i would install ontop of the net bucket, basicly like a GH Waterfarm without a inner bucket + an additional Airstone. Any Input?
