Specifically, what kind of issues did you have when you added Benny's to your res and how quickly was the onset of the problems? Just wondering what problems you had and how you corrected these problems. Thanks

OK curious... How would you really know if you need more dissolved oxygen or not other than just guessing and guessing again? Of course you would not know by looking at the res water, smelling or tasting it. It takes a considerable amount of oxygen (not Nitrogen) to metabolize food to produce...

Hey-hey… It’s the Rocket man and one of his boy aimlessly sitting around the “honey pot” just a shuck’in and Jiv’in and telling tall tales… pour another 5 gallons of diesel in the honey pot small-stick and stir that pot it again and breathe in that black smoke. Any of you old timers remember...

The Old Med is quiet, educated and the brightest on this block that I see, (no disrespect toward The Rocketman and his small band of brothers). The Old Med knows about the profound effect of gas partial pressures (Henry’s Law) and has probably applied the gas law many times in his life. He also...

Hey there Rocketman, clean up your potty-mouth, could make your mama proud maybe. I read it again and fact has not changed a bit in the last few hours. This fact will still be correct this Christmas too, “you get the same concentration of O2 either way [when the little bit of O2 in air is...

So you telling me (like this is a fact) that you think that you get more oxygen with air and a water fall and less oxygen with air blowing through an air pump and bubblers so you threw away you air pump and bubblers because the water fall gave out more O2 than the air pump. Well that a crock and...

Careful with your wild promises dude… 68 F H20 surely does not hold the most dissolved possible if the temp is stable by any stretch of the imagination. How about constant 105% DO super-saturation in 80F water, Bet you never thought of that did you. Plant root metabolism is far superior at...

A DWC Hydro pot grower must control the environment the res water quality. Must insure minimal safe res water quality 24/7 or the probability of sick and dying plants and Benny’s will be high… root suffocation, root death, root rot, fungal infestations, crop failure = try again and pay more...

You have probably heard and read that most forum gurus claim they never have root rot problems nor fungal infestations. Some do have problems, big problems as do the gurus. Many promote the cure, not the prevention. Most growers just watch and wait till they see symptoms of the rot and realize...

Root rot, or decomposition of the roots is caused by anaerobic conditions in the root sphere. If the grow area (especially at the roots) is cool in temperature the plants don't take up water as fast and the roots choke from insufficient oxygen when surrounded by standing water. When the...

Catching a dose is surely disappointing, a real set-back even if you can salvage anything. I feel for you dude. It's disappointing and really disgusting when you're always watching. checking for root rot symptoms every day or so and discover you have actually caught a dose of the rot, then the...

Bleach is a great disinfectant provided the concentration is high enough and maintained. How many ounces/cups of bleach per gallon of res water do you recommend? How many times per week do you recommend changing the res water per week? Do you recommend adding bleach for every water exchange?

Home Brewing Oxygenating – advanced brewers cut to the chase – keep yeast metabolism high using supplemental oxygen, adding pure oxygen trumps water chillers and cold water every day... no noise either. OXYGENATING AEROBIC MICROBES IS VITAL Oxygen is a critical additive in brewing. Oxygen is...

At the peak of this emotional crisis or forum show, the Freak does fess-up and come clean admitting that he is the culprit that hijacked this thread – “Which would produce more DO in a DWC?” Now you know who hijacked your thread, you don’t have to guess and accuse. The Freak is clearly having...

Topic - Which would produce more DO in a DWC? 1st, how do you know your DO is low, unsafe? 2nd, what is your DO goal? 3rd, what DO would you like to see in your water 24/7 continuously for a few months? ... 40% DO Sat, 75% DO Sat, 90% DO sat, 100% DO sat, maybe 125% DO sat, 175% DO sat?… what...

The Freak is tuned up now, buzzing like an air pump wired directly into 220V A/C electrical circuit! Great stuff for growers interested in tomatoes and DO, fish and DO is interesting, dissolved oxygen in lakes, lettuce and DO, gas supersaturation... and Nano Bubbles. Nano bubbles are special...

A Freak us really scary.... no?

When trying and hoping to insuring minimal safe oxygenation, then the element O2 is the point. There often many problems trying to insure enough oxygen O2 using air, ambient air (water falls), compressed air, air venture, air pumps, air bubblers, hot air bubbles, cold air bubbles… Limited by...

This is secret stuff so don't tell. Testing the DO saturation in a DWC grow containing root balls and beneficial microbes like in a CC recirculating system exposes the stark failure (to oxygenate) of the O2 Grow oxygenator big time. You would never know this unless you actually tested the DO...
