Your going to need a taller green house.Anyone ever do outdoor hydro from start to finish? I’m running 12/ 68 gallon grow sites with one plant per site.. currently flooding twice a day. Cutting edge solutions nutrients full strength. passive ebb and flow. Been growing a long time, just wondering what you all thought about the set up.. do I need air stones in each grow site?

If he hits 72 lol. . . he is my hero. . and his trees will grow right through that roof. I bet the greenhouse is lifted 20ft off the ground lol. . dude is my hero.Your going to need a taller green house.
Adding air stones is an attempt to increase DO levels.
What is your water temperature with the system running?
Can you expand on that? I'm very curious to know more about this. What is the best way to surface agitate in your opinion?Contrary to what most think it is NOT the bubbles but rather the surface agitation they create…. Can get more depth if you feel the need.
Isn't science fun? This hobby/profession has expanded my knowledge of biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, ALL sciences in general, much more than any paid university could have. When you truly love something, it really inspires you to learn all about it. At least it does, for me..Just to add the bubbles create water column mixing by pulling water up with them and surface agitation which is why its a good option but not the only option… waterfalls, fluming, fans and eace makers also can work.
Its not the bubbles but the action of the bubbles that aerate the water and why matching pumps to proper airstones is the key not by gph of the pump to the volume of water as many seem to have some formula for
As @Ponky said exposure or dwell time and suface area are key factors
Absolutely brother thiS hobby profession encompasses sooo many different disciplinesIsn't science fun?

I’m thinking you might be right about my height.. lol we shall see. My water temps stay between 66-68Your going to need a taller green house.

I dont have stones in the reservoir but I do have a large circulation pump running all the time.Seems impractical to put stones in each one. I'd aerate the main for sure.
I had that thought also.. any ideas to curb the possibility of that happening? Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.Drain may get plugged over time.
My system stays at about 68 degrees, the only time I get much higher than that is when don’t flood my sites for a decent amount of time. I shut the flood pump down for a day and my res reached 74 degrees. The barrels in the ground act like a geothermal heat exchanger keeping my res cool, which is also in the ground.That being said this is uncharted territory for me, and the heat of summer is barely upon us..If he hits 72 lol. . . he is my hero. . and his trees will grow right through that roof.

I worry about the return line size. . but he's drain and flood so Idk. .
I think it would be hard to keep that water warm. I imagine the drums 25% buried and a geo loop/coil to cool it.
Overall as long as he keeps them low. . i think he will do fantastic. Must say im a bit jelous.
Thank you sir!! Been a little dream of mine for a little while. Finally coming to fruitionHydro set up is sick af!!
