2ltrs per gallon per minute. Enough air?

Hey gang,
Experienced grower making the leap from
Flood/drain to dwc. I've got a commercial 110ltr/min pump going to 18 4 gallon buckets. 4" round airstones in each bucket.

Will this be sufficient?

I have only read amounts in terms of Watts per gallon and that was 1 watt per gallon as a minimum. I use an 80w for 30 gallons of solution.

Thanks bro. I appreciate it. I'm running 112 watts through roughly 60 gallons so should be good.

How many airstones do you have?

I run 11. 1 in each bucket and 2 in the reservoir. Highly suggest you read Heisenberg's Tea Thread. Great stuff for DWC.

Allows you to deal with slightly higher Res. Temps. Cheers!

Cool. Hey if you are battling high Rez temps, check out my DIY rez chiller.

Start reading. Then read some more. When your done, finish up with a little reading and by that time, you should have a basic understanding of cannabis cultivation. Don't mean to be a dick, but I don't have time to help those that can't help themselves.

According to STG (Sure to Grow) hydroponics, you need at minimum of 15liters/gallon. That seems like quite a bit even to me. In the instructional videos I watched, he claimed that everything you have been told about air in RDWC has been wrong, that you require dramatically more.

I'm not sure if that applies to regular DWC or not, I shared what I know haha, use it if you think it's viable if not, call me a nub and correct me haha.


Looks like that really only applies to RDWC, not DWC. Sorry XD

I think the more air the better. I run a 80 watt pump in 4 5gal buckets each with about 4 gal water 2 4' stones in each one. Works for me anyway.
