SS, Root systems are incapable of utilizing oxygen in its gaseous form (What comes out of your air pumps).In hydroponics Air pumps are used to break the tension of the surface above making it more turbid, allowing the water without DO molecules to come in contact with the oxygen rich air, thus increasing DO percentages in your water culture OR mini res in HEMPY (pasive reservoirs also become oxygenated through the wicking action of nutrient delivery). The extra molecule of oxygen can only then be utilized by the root system. Your roots are not growing around the airstone cause they like it, and actually greater DO percentages can be achieved by simply waterfalling the reservoir mixture over and over into itself in DWC (Which is why Undercurrent can be run successfully with out the use of airstones at all). Final summation; I dont see great advantages to adding airstones to the bottom of a hempy reservoir (I tried ) BUT I dont want to inhibit your inquiring nature and wish you more succes than I found!~S0uP

LOL soup, thanks for the explanation, I won't waste my time, I don't want too much water upstairs...and so I can cancel that thought

Thanks soup! im with who, i probably wont try it lol. Ive already transplanted and was too lazy to look for the air pump so i went with straight perlite. Thanks for the knowledge man.

I got some before and after pics of the transplant, she took well to the change just a little lighter in color but not much so when i watered today i gave her alittle calmag to see if it helps any. I put her under the hps 18/6 @ 200w (its so nice and cool at 200w its like a perfect spring day in there) she loves it! I started training today on 2 of the top branches and ill be looking to add on the screen in maybe a week but well see.

Man gotta love the growth hempys provide. She is exploding even as she tries to shoot new root growth, awesome.

looking good man

Happy first day of june everybody! Did a bit more training last night. Her steam is starting to beef up too.

your girls are getting big fast man they look really happy

Agreed they look VERY content SS like NO transplant shock at all!!!

Sorry i havent been posting guys. Ive been working like a dog doing 10-11 hour days 6 days a week for the past few weeks now and its catching up to me. Enough of my whining though, The BJ is doing well starting to bush out like crazy i def gotta put the screen on asap or its gonna get out of control lol.

Update time! BJ is looking nice and healthy, her canopy is super thick thanks to the tight node spacing. It reminds me so much from when the first time i grew her . I attached the screen last night and she still got about 2 more weeks of veg to fill it then time to flip i hope.

Sweet! Love the blackjack, she's such a tight little bush. She is going to fill in real nice, I think your estimate of 2 weeks is going to be spot on.

Three days later lol...i think the roots have hit the rez.

Fuck! She is a monster already bro! You flipping soon?

lol, as always thanks bro. im thinking this weekend ill flip. starting tomorrow ill keep her in total darkness til sat then, let the show begin!

man that bj looks healthy keep it up loking the pics later man

Thanks grower! I was gonna throw up some pics this weekend but never got around to it. How are those bushes coming along?

o man they big as hell I put some pics up the other day if u have not seen them yet I got a good bit that's over 7 foot

Quick update, I just got a new phone and wanted to see if I had the intelligence to upload pics lol. I hope it worked out!

The new phone adjustment period is always a pain in the ass! The BJ girl is looking outstanding bro. Looks like she might test your space limits, she is huge! I keep saying it, but that hempy growth is just amazing. Looking forward to some fat ass blackjack nugs!
