    Eliminating air pump...waterfall, venturi, or dont?

    That's some good info. Much appreciated. Here is a pic of the room. I have a large 47 gallon tote in the middle. And have 3 different "sets" of buckets (6, 6, 3 gonna add 3 more). My system is holding about 70 gallons. My other option is going with a better air pump. But funds have dried up...

    Eliminating air pump...waterfall, venturi, or dont?

    I want to eliminate the need for the air pumps in my dwc/Bubbleponics set up. Currently experiencing problems with low oxygen. I currently have 15x5 gallon buckets connected to a reservoir. Using 1/2" tubing for return. What do you guys suggest?

    Yea, that's what I'm doing. But I have them in like 4" Rockwool cubes under the hydroton, so I didn't know if that would soak the Rockwool too mucb

    Top feed drip with Rockwool cubes, yay or nay?

    What size Rockwool cubes do you use? Mine are the size that projectnfo has in his pic. I thought they were drowning as I have been having some problems. But I think it was due to the temperature of the water and the PH as well. And does it make a difference what light you use? For the...

    Caused by water temp?

    Reason being there is a temperature difference of about 5 degrees between the res, and the buckets. That's the reason.

    Caused by water temp?

    What size are you Rockwool cubes? And when you drip feed them is it 24/7? There was black stuff on the top of my cube when I checked it. The roots still look healthy though and smell like dirt (which I believe is good). But they were SOAKED. I'M going to stop top feeding them for a few days...

    Caused by water temp?

    Yea the chiller is good, it took almost 24hrs yo bring down the temps to about 65f. But I'm back at reasonable temps. Also I found another problem. Since my clones were in Rockwool cubes (3") and I was top feeding the cubes were soaked. I have since moved the drip to just allow the water to...

    Top feed drip with Rockwool cubes, yay or nay?

    I was wondering if you should have a top feed system with Rockwool cubes. I got some clones that came in about 3" cubes and am running a Bubbleponics set up.

    Caused by water temp?

    Well, got the chiller installed. Res water temp is at about 70f and the pots are at about 73 - 75. Set the chiller at 60f. Don't know if I saved them since they are turning more yellow, little by little.

    Caused by water temp?

    So to update, I installed the chiller. Water temp is down to 73 when I left. I set it at 58 because I see a 3 to 5 degree difference in the buckets. By the way for the cobra product, I added 14 tablespoons to 100 gallons of water. I have 2 50 gallon drums I use to mix the water before I add to...

    Caused by water temp?

    I have a top fees drip system feeding them. But the pump is off until I get the temp fixed. I just picked up an artica water chiller, although it's only 1/10th hp, It should be good for the amount of water I have in the system. And it only cost me 100 bucks. Going to clean it overnight and...

    Caused by water temp?

    I doubt they are clogged, I think it's just the temperature not allowing it to make as many bubbles. The bubbles were more foamy before. The nutes im using are as follows AN Sensi grow a/b Xtreme nutrients Cobra Root tonic Xtreme veg And enzymes komplete natural killer The cobra and...

    Caused by water temp?

    Also, how much bubbles should I see in the bucket? The first day when I put the air stones in it was bubbling crazy. When I lifted them today, they are not bubbling as much. Is it because of the temp it's not bubbling?
