Hydroponics, plant roots constantly submerged in water...

[MI5]

hey...
i have a system that has the plant roots constantly submerged in water, would this cause plant root rot?

i could sprinkle the water to the bottom on the net pots, but then i would need to buy more equip etc...

i think using some hydrogrn peroxide capful is recommended but id check with some others...

i run a DWC and my roots are in water 24/7. but i add tons of oxygen and other nutes as we;; as hydrogenperoxide.

isnt hydrogenperoxide a bleach? how will it be broken down to water and oxygen ? isnt it risky...?

is your system dwc??? cuz if so just add a bunch of air stones and like 2 or 3 or as many as u want air pumps more air the better but what do u mean the sit in water explain more about your system

How big is your res? How many gallons?

 

[ledgrowing]

more is better then dont worry and its not the size of the stone as much as the size of the pump

13 gallons being used... my pump is 3litres per min.

I have an 18 gallon res, with 11 gallons in it. I use 2 air stones (my pump has 2 outlets for airstones). I almost wish I had another pump with 2 more. But the 2 are working just fine and my plants are thriving. Just know that for bubbles in your res, you can never have too many. You can have too little though.
