would adding an airstone to my reservoir (33 gal garbage can) do anything positive for my stadium grow. I was just reading about how others use airstones but have little experience with them.
Thanks in advance!
Hell Yeah! to mrktwiz and all the card carrying members of VGU. I am applying to become a member and the first thing I did was tear out my ducting and dismantle my 4k room, yanking the lights out of the hoods( free the lumens!)and built two shelves and hung 2k and will be dividing the 12x13 ft space into two sides and flippity floppity here I come...You guys and gals and IC in general has made me a better gardener and thanks for helping out. Construction is almost done and I will have to prove myself by posting pics but I look forward to having too much ganja and not hitting my head on reflectors anymore! NS
p.s. picked up some #5 welder specs already, those 1k's are bright! its amazing the difference in light just blasting the room now. Off to work. NS
The answer is no.
You're growing in coco, so what good is bubbling your reservoir going to do? The water is being added to the coco, and is aerated at that point. Even if you had air stones that blew hot air and created "nasties" in your water, the coco will be colonized with beneficials that will handle them.
Anyway, back to the point. Just make sure your nutrients are thoroughly mixed, and you're gtg. That might mean putting a powerhead in your res and having it recirculate your nutrients before they're pumped out... That might be beneficial. I just pump my water into drippers. GH 6/9, and everything stays dissolved...
can we get an update? I wanna see this thing blowing up!
Bobblehead;
OK thanks. I was just cruising the hydro store and saw the airstone pumps on the shelf and was wondering if it would help....I might get the recirculator like you suggested but I am having such good results I am kinda like "why fuck with a good thing"?
Picture coming in 18 minutes....gotta wait for the lights to come on
how many weeks they been in there so far? those look a little further out than even three weeks...
But, it looks like your gunna kill it everything is looking real nice...
OK here is the yield 1491g or in English just over 52 Oz and for all you gpw types 1.24 gpw so a long way short of 2 gpw but im sure it will come!
I told you bro, innovative yet simple enough for your or me to pull it off. Welcome aboard.
Red - A lot of my room was inspired by you and Selhemployed also.....with dialing in help by DHF and Bobblehead I am making good progress, I am hoping to get 3#.....but we will see my plant count is not that high this run but I am adding another shelf next runahhaha not sure how i miss this one but looking great there mrktwiz, remind of my 2k stadium when i ran the tent
cheers,
