Waterfall effect

Maybe you could figure out how to put your air stones in those waterlines so there actually is some dissolved oxygen.

QUOTE=svchop889;4129313]If there is no air exposed to the fast moving water it will not become aerated. also solubility of gas into water Oxygen is a gas. is not stable and it is ver easy for oxygen to leave water and not easy to put it in. You hoses are small and there is not enough oxygen exposed to your high rate of flow for it to become properly areated. and the airstones in your res are doing nothing because the bubbles don't stay in the water after the point of pick up as water pumps are not also air pumps. If you cannot comprehend this then there is nothing I can do to help you.[/QUOTE]

there's obviously oxygen in the water or his plants would be dead. I think in heath's vertical grow that there is about 1" of water in the bottom of a 6" tube... or something like that. Which means that part of the roots are suspended in air. This is what I can see as the difference.

Why do you not just do a DWC? I have to agree with the others who say that the plants are overwatered a little.

Give it a chance... lets see how the yield turns out!

Here's a pic of my girls in my Ebb and Flo system. I flood them ON A TIMER. This is day 14 of flower.

Now when you look at the flowering pics you posted, vs the flowering pics dadio posted, are you telling you really do not see the difference in how healthy his look compared to yours? Really man? You are being way too defensive about this whole thing. The proof is right in front of your eyes. But Good Luck. If you are running it as an experiment, then don't let anyone change what you are doing. If you are running it to produce the best plant you can, you are failing mightily because of your pride.

good to see you have wised up. they look better than they did.

Whats up guy. Here are a couple of pics I took of my girls yesterday ( day 24 of 12/12 ) using an Ebb and Flo , watering on a timer 4 times a day. You should be about two days ahead of me.
