DWC air pump
ToastiesBurnedstarted grow question 3 years ago
Anyone with previous experience, what's the minimum/optimum size pump for my air bubbler? I have a cheapo single line pump, I'm assuming it's enough but not optimum. Can anyone put a number on it in cfm? Is more always better? At what point do you reach diminishing returns?

Depending on your set up you just need to be able to provide enough oxygen for your plants roots. I have used a single DWC pot and a cheapo airpump with no issues. I’d say the cheap one would have struggle to provide for anymore than two or three plants. If your doing more than one plant you can buy pumps with multiple airlines on them.
If you put your bubbler in the pot with the airpump attached and you see plenty of bubbles floating to the top you’ll be fine. I’m currently using my cheap pump to oxygenate a 30L res… Good Luck

Planting directly into soil with full of other roots? (Outdoor Guerilla Autoflower)The site is full of brambles with dense rootzones. I have dug a hole but its full of roots. Is it OK if I cut down every single root from my hole? Could my plant catch bacteria and etc from the brambles roots? Won't the brambles roots suck away all my nutrient from my plant?

How many and how large plants in a 4x2 tent for a quick veg/flowering?How many plants could I have in a 4x2 tent? I would like to reduce veg and flowering time, so would that mean I should go for more plants? I've got 3x 11 liter / 3 gallon Gronest fabric pots and can get more pots. Also, are the nutrients noted in the grow suitable for coco?Setup. Substrates

Soil recommendation? Typically use Fox Farms Happy Frog but price keeps going up and quality seems much lower, lots of sticks, not mixed well etcIs there any soil recommendations anyone can make that are good but a less pricey? Dont get me wrong, I love Fox Farm’s, and 38/bag isnt terrible. I’m just curious if anyone has found a more mainstream soil that’s as good of soil. I also think their quality has been worse latelySetup. Substrates
