to many bubbles

i have a drip system, as u can see to ur left., i have an airstone in the bottom to get oxygen to the roots, and i bought a little pump to push it, but it doesnt have any way to control it and its bubbling like crazy., could it be bad to have too many bubbles going on?

The more oxygen, the better.

thanks for the input, ive let it go for the last two days, and she still looks happy, ive not made the best decisions and this is the first time ive taken a clone straight from the mother. its a little tricky at first.

Yeah man you can't have too many bubbles, roots love em.
Happy growin Bud!

thank u, i will have a couple pics up, shortly, its grown a foot, but now i think i have the wrong lighting, this morning i turned on the 400 w hps for about 6 hours, then dark for 5, and a 150 w halo. the rest of the time which i think is making it strech.

LOL...roots don't need oxygen.

I am proud for you, man, if you growing in bubbles, then join the BubbleHead gang.

While you can't have too much oxygen in the water you CAN have too much water on seedlings that are just growing roots. A very high bubble action in the airspace where the netpots are will add a lot of water to the rockwool or whatever. With my airstone and air pump setup, I can control how wet or how dry it is by raising and lowering the water level. I keep the water level as low as possible so that it keeps the netpots wet enough and not too wet. So yes, you can have too many bubbles.

You can also have the wrong kind of bubbles. You should have small bubbles that spit water when they break on the surface. You can hold your hand over them and feel the mist - aeroponics with no sprayers! But if the airstones aren't right and large gulps of air are rising and that does is roil the water but it doesn't create the mist in the airspace nearly as well.

Yes, fellow Rollitup sleuths, you've gotten it correct again.
