No. I'm good. The stone are in the garbage and the problem is gone.Air stones don’t just clog for no reason bud. I’m running 8 air stones that I bought on Amazon 2 grows ago without issue. I think you might have something else going on. This place has a ton of experienced growers that are here to help out.
post some pics of what you got going on
Then you'd be wrong. It's a bank of 8 output ActiveAqua pumps. The reason the air stones had an issue is the gray ones are made wrong. Solve the problem by throwing away the low quality stones. No need to guess people. I've stated the issue.So without stones you risk agitating the roots. You don't want big bubbles rushing up and smacking the roots all over the place. Similar to low pump flow, you don't want 10000gpm lol.
I would say ur pump is shit lol.. No offense
Sounds like the noise is what's stopping you? I did the opposite of what you are doing. I had the exact same issue. The pump wasn't strong enough to stop the slime from building up inside. I had light leaks and root rot. Well when that junk goes through your pump then your airstones, it will clog. The nutrient mix alone shouldn't clog any air stone out there. I'm about to get some micro airstones That will require a really good pump so That the bubbles will be ultra fine. If my stones plug, the line will blow lol..
Anyways u can do it either way, yet the smaller the bubbles the less root agitation, which can only be achieved with a custom water pump/air ration system, or micro stones and a heavy duty air pump.
Its pretty easy to soundproof a pump too. You can't even hear my grow room unless your in it.
Like is this a large commercial system with workers or a small home system? If its small why mess with it, but if this is how your doing it on 20 different systems I would suggest not worrying about sound and more and root agitation and airration.
I have to ask, that Pic of omg buds. . What in the hell.. They massive. Is this the soaker hose method u mentioned? Got any pics of roots????I did away with air stones after my first run. Now I use 1/4" soaker hose with a few ss nuts to hold it to the bottom. $7 for 50' just toss and cut a new piece.
You don't understand why someone would run a cheap stone to see if they work? Then don't comment. You don't understand testing nutirents? Don't comment. You don't know how to setup shows? Don't comment. You don't understand the concept of testing processes? Don't comment. You don't understand and you can't contribute in a meaningful way. Dismissed.These are the stones I’ve used for 4 grows with this air pump. I do clean my stones after every grow. Like I said before I think you might have other issues there. Just like @Cashmeh I had light leaks which caused a bloom of algae or bacteria. If I had been using some Mickey Mouse pump I think I would’ve seen some problems.
also why would you need to kill plants to test out nutrients??? Not sure I or anyone else for that matter understands that logic. Please enlighten us grand master chronic. Lmfao
Clearly you're some kind of idiot. So let me explain. Once again. Workers get hired. Workers always end up getting lazier and lazier. They water less and less. They need products and foods that work. If you want cases of airstones you want to know they will last for months. 3 or more. If you buy air pumps you want them all the same. If you want you buy bulk food you have to see how it will grow a crop. Why?lol what do your nutrient tests entail, besides killing plants? What air stones did you “test” ?
you seem hostile, you should read through some posts on here to help you out with your “grow” … also there’s good news for you, all the tests have been done, you’re not jack london exploring Borneo. Go buy some weed if you have to while you get your “tests” under control and chill out baby bird.
Go fuck yourself. How about that. Come on back when you need a reminder.Oh pardon me my lord, I had no idea you were Mickey Pearson from The Gentleman. Please forgive me. Lmao let’s see your grow though, really interested in how an expert like you grows.
Here are the rootsI have to ask, that Pic of omg buds. . What in the hell.. They massive. Is this the soaker hose method u mentioned? Got any pics of
roots????
Ok so I didn't notice all the stress training going on under them. Makes more sense now.Here are the roots
The plant just days from harvest
the soaker hose
and the hose in action
