Oxygenation and Nutrient Uptake https://www.thcfarmer.com/community/threads/myth-free-water-nutrient-temperature-level-information.21077/
Healthy roots supplied with sufficient oxygen are able to absorb nutrient ions selectively from the surrounding solution as required. The metabolic energy which is required to drive this nutrient uptake process is obtained from root respiration using oxygen. In fact there can be a net loss of nutrient ions from a plant’s root system when suffering from a lack of oxygen (anaerobic conditions). Without sufficient oxygen in the root zone, plants are unable to take up mineral nutrients in the concentrations required for maximum growth and development. Maintain maximum levels of dissolved oxygen boosts nutrient uptake by ensuring healthy roots have the energy required to rapidly take up and transport water and mineral ions.
Using Oxygen Generator to increase DO. https://www.thcfarmer.com/community/threads/using-oxygen-generator-to-increase-do.21102/
Now from all the research done as of late the Higher concentrations of DO in the water the Better. Oxygen helps in many different ways and there are to many to list. I had an Idea to Introduce More Pure Oxygen into Res.
This in theory Should Create A SUPER Charged Oxygen rich environment.
Now I was thinking of using a Oxygen Generator, most of these units take the normal air and turn it into 90-95% Pure Oxygen and some of the larger units output pressure can be as much as 12psi( Thats greater than most Commercial air pumps). Why not pump this High concentration of Oxygen directly into the res. using airs stones ect.
Or my other Idea was to take one of the Oxygen Generators with lower output production and pump the 90-95% Oxygen directly to a box with a Air Pump in it and pump that to res.
Fast forward 6 years down the road today.
Any of you neo-experts and whiz-kids have any opinion?
What’s the difference and big deal between bubbling O2 into the water or bubbling air into the water or bubbling CO2 into the water in 2016?
How do the experts tell the difference between oxygen or air or CO2?
Why is there any difference between oxygen and air? It all looks, taste and smells the same as CO2 to me.
