Hey guys, How important is the amount of bubble in a DWC setup? I always thought the point of the bubbles was to splash onto the cup/roots (like an aeroponics system) for nutrition but now I'm hearing that the point of the bubbling is to provide oxygen to the roots (standing water has no movement and thus very little O2).
Is there a direct correlation between the amount of bubbling and plant health (e.g. few bubbles = poor performance; many bubbles = high performance)?
I have a 10 gallon tub (smallest one I could find at Wal-Mart) and I bought 2 6inch bubble wands (air-stones were sold out, of course). Can 2 6 inch bubble wands generate enough bubbles for a 10 gallon res? I certainly don't want to cement these wands into the tub if not.
