Also I have decided on the nutes I have over 30lt of bottled nutes That want to use up. So that's what I am going to do. I will use a pk booster in flower probably cool bloom dry I have used it with these base nutes before with good results. Also complete enzyme I am undecided about silica I have to look around some more.

are you using stones or diffusers? I use diffusers.

This one is about a foot across, they make many sizes. I like them cause they're tough, and their size creates a nice big curtain. Some say a diffuser makes "better" smaller bubbles, but i don't know about that.

We all know air in the water is a big deal in DWC but we can only oxygenate water so far. Water can only hold so much O2 (our target gas). Its measured in PPM and we NEED more than 6PPM with a target of about 10. My pump is a 90liter per minute pump which is overkill for 2 17 gallon buckets, but i believe the action of the water through the roots helps in other ways. If you plan on using CO2 you should probably think of running your pump in another room. You don't want carbon dioxide in the water. I will be trying CO2 in my next season.

It's a cheap $50 zon unit but seems to work ok. We will see how long it lasts.

Just remember, you've only got a few hours before dead water makes dead plants

I like your diffuser not going to use CO2 but the pump has a fiiting to run the air intake out of the room if needed. These are what I am using at the moment. To much air is not going to hurt anything but not enough is a whole other story.

I read somewhere on the internet that some random dude I don’t know said that each sticker boosts harvest by 10 grams. I don’t know about y’all but I believe them!
