Wow, that's amazing,

I'm going to get one of thoes pumps and try it. Do the nuts go in the begining or the end of the process? And the foam that forms, go to trash or soil?

Cheers mate, glad you came along

Good luck with the grow.

Just harvested a couple of LR#2 grown under T5s. Great plants and good smoke, spacy fun high!

Great links for the air bubbling to!

Day 39

Day 39 Update,

She's a fighter, have been some problems with older leafs yelowing,
After some research and helpfull input from the experienced growers, i'v come to the conclusion that was or a Nitrogen deficiencie or burn.

I decided to do the N defiencie treatment, Flushed the girl, after 3 days gave her a N based feeding, and i think she´s OK

Before the flush 8 days ago


After the flush, yesterday



What do you guys think?

View attachment 60305View attachment 60306 this is a normal jackhere, from seed, i germed her into a cube, and when the first 2 leaves opened up i put her ina netpot, no rots out yet, 1 week in the system and this is what i saw when i lifted her,

i got 4 plants like her from fluming, where as when ive used h2o2 and before this airstones, ive never seen roots result so masive so fast,

the plant developed somuch faster too,
my friend whos is in soil, uses fluming on his water, for 24hrs beforehand, and he said he'd noticed dfference in plants alot,

I am not sure of the term "fluming", but what you are describing is oxygen saturation of the H2O. And you are correct in that airstones are not the most effective way to do that. H2O absorbs O primarily by coming into contact with surface air. The more water movement you have, the greater degree of oxygen saturation your H2O will have. In nature, rushing streams and rivers with lots of surface disturbance is highly oxygen saturated.
So for our purposes, we want the greatest amount of turn over from the bottom of our water storage to the top to keep the H2O uniformly saturated. Your water pump on the bottom is a very effective way of doing that. Airstones move the water when the bubbles rise through the it, providing some turnover of the water but they do not as some people suppose add oxygen to the water themselves.
When I operated a tropical fish hatchery, my filteration systems used a tiered stack of trays and filtering mediums that created a sort of heavy rain/waterfall effect. The result was highly oxygen saturated H20. I had literally 10's of thousands of fish in every system and never had problems related to oxygen deficiency.
In saying all that, if your talking about a gallon or two of H2O, a water pump will not provide a significant advantage over an airstone. You probably won't notice a difference between a good airstone and a water pump until your moving around 10 gallons of H2O and then the benefit of the water pump should be pretty noticeable.
As for pathogens infecting your H2O source when using airstones over water pumps, I am not so sure that is the case.

Day 47 Update, how much longer to harvest?

I ask this question, becose the trichs seem to become milky, and there's a great percentage of brown calixes.

What the experts think?

please lead me in the wrigth direction.

Howdy Rastafisherman. So many schools of thought on harvest time. Seed bank as an estimate. Trichomes as a gauge. And pistils nearly all red/brown and retracting (this is a very good indicator depending on strain). The old timers here have several systems. Muddy has done his own research and has a good one. Seek out his method (or others), I believe Muddy's is under a guide in harvesting. Very nice plant, indeed, at just 47 days. After 47 days, I generally, stop posting pictures.

Your fan leaves are just starting to yellow, so at least 3 more weeks.
