Will an air stone in reservoir of water under a fabric pot filled with soil contribute anything?

ItsGrowingOnMestarted grow question 5y ago

Soil based grow. 3 gallon fabric pot placed in a 5 gallon bucket, with holes drilled out the bottom. The 5 gallon has a reservoir below it. Can I throw an air stone in the reservoir w/ h20 and pump more air to increase oxygen or will the soil not benefit because it’s a hydro grow

You will not need to aerate your water unless your roots are in the water. I use drip style hydro with no airstones or chillers.

I planned on creating a wick system like Ed Rosenrhals simple system. A fabric pot in a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled through the bottom so I could use wicks to draw water to the fabric bag once roots are well developed. However, it’s my first. The air stone was to oxygenate the roots coming in contact with the fabric pot. I will go soil only

Lightening Soil - Coco Coir or Perlite?I think my soil is a bit heavy and could have better drainage. Should I add more perlite or some coco coir for my next garden? My base is Biobizz Light-Mix. I'm thinking of supplementing it with 10%-15% of perlite or coco coir. Does this sound good or should I do something else?
