you have to put them in your tailpipe to charge them up first. Thats where mine are.

wait whats that mean? haha tailpipe? no idea man. charge it? haha help me out!!

You have to charge the stones with air. They sell them as "air stones" but what you're actually getting is the stone. You have to charge them with air for 48 hours. Then hook them up to the pump to force the air out. The air will last about a week. So...every week you have to take them out, put them in the microwave to decontaminate then recharge them for 48 hours. Repeat this process every week until harvest. good luck

I'd rinse it with hot water first. but yeah its simple. plug one end of the hose into the air pump and hook the other end to the stone and drop it in.

I'm told they will last a few years but they are cheap enough I change mine with every grow.
