i see very positive results , as read here, adding airstone/pump to aerogarden wannabe/day_018.
The roots seem to chase it if change the port fed thru, thought could be chasing or even some kind of reverse suction from the output;
>>but read here they do reach for airstone, ty.
>>looking to add another, to help, and should also give more pump life i'd think, perhaps quieter even with the extra relief
i know from aquarium hobby when younger, the airstone pores can fill some, could use cleaning, changing out occasionally.
.
These rebrand themselves from humble airstone to 'Aquarium CO2 Atomizer' (but air pump driven) to differentiate themselves on the market at bit higher cost, and are seen elsewheres, but this one is headed here: temu.com.
Anyone try before, finer bubbles theory any truth etc.?
>>running cycle?
.
Also have about 3ml of hydrogen peroxide in 1Gallon tank
>>suggestions on ratio?
>>add more over time to same water/if so, how much, how often?
.
1st post, 1st try 2x RQS QuickOnes
as test pilots w/some greens, dill, basil filler; as benchmark test new toy.
.
future:
>>will always have lots of air bubbles in all going forward.
>>looking at starting in even smaller diy and transplanting to here at this stage as go
>>looking at moving from here to DWC, kratky, drip, or low pressure spray to 5g bucket, NFT at some point, not this round tho.
>>looking at hydroponic low pressured spray or dribble for tower mebbe these in there on a low scrog sprawl?
and main overhead lighting from/arriving today : SANSI 700W LED Grow Light for Indoor Plants Full Spectrum
>>'under skirt' supplemental: 1pc LED Corn Lights Bulb, E26/E27 110V Bulb/warm
>>also have for side lighting aero w/bend around corner: foldable e27 grow
All 3 could be sent back if really wrong, always looking for best deal,
>>waited until 'black friday' especially temu, would've ordered less of household stuff if they did not do about the 1/3rd off, but they did !
if tried CO2, would be easiest during 1st 3wks, is this effective phase? If stopped after any repercussions form impact of change?
>>starters in bottom of 5g bucket, fed co2 to the 'captive audience' ?
.
Also, 10 of these coming, $10 nonRefundable >> anyone want to offer experiences, comments, scolding's, death threats etc. on these over more plain?
vs. Root Riot
Any recommended mycor use in hydroponics?(works miracles in other soil stuffs)
next net cup size to graduate from aero garden type cages?
.
Any type of conversion thumb rules on the light efficiency per watt between technologies: incans, cfl HPS, MH, LED techs: normal , cob etc. as an expanding technology. Start out with cob cools, mebbe move to warms for flowering or more standard grow led?
>>saturation per square foot across, then vertical dimension/thickness?
also have power monitor ordered to try to understand real watt usage to compare to other matching technologies(led vs led) for light choices/understanding advertised vs. used/input vs. output for that level of technology.
tysm, guess caught the bug..
