the air stone is to further oxeygenate the water before feeding. the dripping water shud i herd be oxygenated on the way down its driop course but the more oxygen the better which is why people add the bubbler. hope that helped
go to stealthhydro.com and watch their bubbleponics system video. Some systems like Stealth Hydros bubbleponics setup are setup so the airdisks bubble oxygen and water into the water pump and the water pump will drip it to the inner roots. This is setup like this for seeds that are sprouting and roots that cant touch the water yet. Stealh Hydro doesnt show very much water in their small reservoir because they use a drip system as well. Then the owners of stealth hydro system remove the drip system because it blocks room in their reservoir and the roots are already touching oxygenated water.No doubt a great thread, it has helped me in my research tremendously.
Although I have seen another thead where it was made using an air stone AND also using a water pump for direct feeding, why would you do both, why not just one of the two methods. Seems like a hydro AND bubble unit combined would give off too much water. I dunno, I'm a newbie.
Thanks so much for your help and insight Highlife, you have helped me plenty over the last two days.
No doubt! Good luck with the grow
samantha the male is just scary lol still tiem to pull him but i think ill just tuff it out. i think dtill time sry i did not mean to jacl yur thred, just got excited
thats exactly the grow i got. get a cooltube form htg supply. i growing 2 plants in stealth hydro 4 pot bubbler. theres enough room for 2, idk the 4 becasue the pots are so close together that the plants would be on top of each other. the roots look like they cud make it. i hope. humidity i no a factor if top plants crowd, but hear is lo, and i doing only 2 now
The cooltube allows more light coverage because the hood stops the light with corners.My 6 inch inline fan is quiet bro. I ended up moving my plants before i sexed them because i didnt want the roots to be compacted and the aerogarden needed changing too much. Just transplant them all and then sex them, u dont want the aerogarden stunting growth expecially if your going to transplant them anyways.
reservoir changes and value i still reserching. man i just had my first male open up, wow thats a lotta polen, clouds the air, pollinated my female and pulled that guy took a while to open, interesting to note, superthrive took like a day under lights then after lights out it shot up a whole lot also i put it in my bubbler cloner i made froma coffe can and the cuttings loved that, the roots are doing well! superhtrive is the best deal i got yet out of any product in ths adventure
i using the euro hood duct fan and i plant to get a charcoal filter with a fan attached. currently i pull air thru the hood and vent out in aother room, that works best. the instructions advise to pull. i plan to pull all thru the light for an easy setup my tent gets here tomorow, i advise a tent, if yu can hise a closet yu can hise a tents, under cardboard fake fornt dresser and whiole lot more conveneint to use. with closets i found that my temp was so hi was ridiculous unless i left the door completley opened, even venting with a 6 inch can fan, 250 cfm, altho that was a little small for my 12 by12 by 3 closet, lol, i know i half assed. but remember u will fig out ways around everything, i do howver regret not getting a DIGITAL BALLAST, if yu can afford it go for it, also my euro hood cant go vert, and i seen a lotta great growd doing that for more pot spaces, will see.ebay! and htg! dont go to hydro stores watched by cops and new england hydroshops online are the best for mail because they grow everything indoor there as it gets so cold all year, no notice.
