Best way to combat pythium and root rot in all hydroponic growing methods.

Again long winded advertisements for expensive concentrators and other equipment but no proof that these thing actually increase growth. What are you trying to achieve J? What is your end game? No comparisons, no actual side by grows, just a lot of talk about the benefits but are there any? You came here asking if it would work, and peoples thoughts then proceeded to belittle people that didn't agree. Instead of having an intelligent conversation about the benefits you spout gas laws, mythical secret grow OP's, and conjecture. Time to move these discussions to the advanced section J, this is not general growing stuff.

Does this mean you won't be back?

Here's Potty mouth again.
so i call you out on your fantasy of O2 injecting actually working and that's the best you can come up with?

put up pictures and a grow journal of your O2 injection system that you built and have run head to head against a regular dwc or shut up.

Oh I will be but to read posts rom people that have something to say that is actually pertinent to the thread. And yes to keep watching you get slammed as its kind of entertaining. You haven't answered my question though and I've asked twice, what's your goal here, what are you hoping to achieve. People have asked in numerous threads, show us, show how this is worth the effort. You haven't tried any of this have you?

Imagine this oxygen system added in line with your water flow distal to your water pump in any RDWC system:

  1. If you want real cheap oxygenation then oxygen-injection is it: Pure oxygen can simply be injected into pipes leading to the tank. If these lines are under pressure from a pump, the increased hydrostatic pressure will increase oxygen diffusion. Reasonable transfer efficiencies can be achieved with oxygen injection, though some oxygen is still lost to the atmosphere.

  2. This dissolves O2 in the water: oxygen cone or oxygen saturator http://web.utk.edu/~rstrange/wfs556/html-content/18-ox-cont.html Saturators are cheap and easy to make with PVC and glue.

  3. A device called a Packed Column will also efficiently dissolve O2 into the water. Make a packed column with PVC and glue.

  4. And there are other high-tech devices and ways to dissolve O2 into water too.

    It is important to use a gas dissolving device that dissolves O2 with extreme efficiently to prevent gas waste, diffusers, a venture, sprayers are horribly inefficient and will waste tremendous volumes of Oxygen. Wasting O2 always increasing the cost of operation. The whole oxygenating system must operate efficiently... or forget it.

This is only 1 of many companies that sell rebuilt O2 generators.

There are other O2 gas sources that are more dependable and cheaper than oxygen generators.

They don't exist lol. Chilled water and lots of air (yes just air) infused into the water. That's it that's all, don't get any easier then that.

"Shut up" oh s
Let me be clear for you Potty Mouth - no.

OK I understand; that's iym that's all that all for your and that's the easiest thing you can an will do. And however it turns out is just fine and that's the way you want it
In the last 9 years high-tech growing has come a long way.
Historically speaking, take a trip down memory lane...

If you don't like O2 comes, oxygen-injection, packed columns, O2 saturators here's another option. Here's newer technology a year old, 2015 stuff:

Check this oxygenator: O2Grow RDWC pure oxygen system replaces aerators, diffusers, air pumps and the old water cooler machines http://www.hightimes.com/read/high-buy-o2-grow Tested by High Times.

Well thanks for that J :). Not really sure what your trying to say but thanks and sorry if I'm being a dick as well, I've got a man cold and kinda cranky lol, but really what help is any of this? Everyone who grows hydro with flooded root zone knows the importance of O2 and if they don't have enough they add a chiller just as I have, when things go to shit. The O2 injection thing has been around for a long time your right and is anyone doing it ..... Nope lol, Not even you, so yes I guess I am done here..... It's kind of like " move along, nothing to see here". But what ever your trying to prove or accomplish, good luck!

so do you own it or are you a salesman? guess we know the reason for all your posts now, huh.

did you read the HT article? are you advocating spending $1200 for a system that "On the other hand, a study done on hydroponically grown lettuce showed that only a minimum level of DO was necessary to keep the lettuce alive, and extra DO did not improve overall growth." will have the same effect as a $20 walmart airpump and a few cheap airstones?

@J Henry
Neat, the one for my system is only $400. Maybe I should get a couple.
rdwc grow with $4 air stones.

No doubt, This Crop looks impressive.
Couple questions please: 1. What was this crops total bud weight?
2. What was the average THC concentration?
3. What was the total $ for this crop of buds?
Healthy looking crop and I bet there were no Pythium outbreaks.
