I just recently put two 8inch air stones in a 33gallon plastic trash bin and let my RO water in there over night, and the girls seem to be loving it!. Anyone else doing this in an Organic soil application? If so how long should i treat the water to were its beneficial and not just wasting time?

man im not shure in soil it mater big dog.. in dwc or aroe flood and drain same nutes it realy matter but the roots get air if they are in pots or in coco its more extreem if your roots are in water... but ill give you a great one look for mico bublers the more fine the bubbles are the more air in the water but you need it to be cool so it can stay in the water retain 02.. any old stone is great better than nothing but you need a micro pore bubbler is the shit.. it helps about a point in your oxegen tank depending on how much real o2 you have in the air also stail air has something to do with the bubbler i vent once in a while and the girls love the fresh air, in the room and in the root zone!!

I think you should always have air running in nutrient solution in whatever you're system you're running, roots love it.

I use the roots organics exclsively and it drops the water ph about 2 full points when you first add the nutes(5ml master feed schedule) the directions tell you to bubble it for 24-48 hours to let the ph rise.I have found that the ph continues to drop anyway so you still have to adjust it so I don't think it really matters how long that it is bubbled.(i do 48 hours just because)

Yeah Demon, I let my solution bubble up to 48 hours or around 2 days, Do PH your solution pryer,during or after the bubbling of the solution?

Sounds cool Thump, think I am going to look into this micro pore bubbler you were speaking about, more bubbles,more oxygen,more buds! , Sounds good to me!
