I never said airstones were bad and I do not think FM was really stating that. It is the size of the bubbles and/or the placement.
I have killed many plants but not really in my system,and never from a system failure. I say take 100 cuts,pick 64 to transplant. Out of that I keep 30 to complete the veg,22 for my room and 8 as backups for about 2 weeks. All those extra clones used to go to my torture chamber for my experiments. Not many made it out alive.
Your systems do not work because of nutes constantly are recirculating,if that was the case nft would work well. I stated earlier I doubted if Krusty or dd knows why they work. I doubt if krusty ever questioned why. But I bet you 2 guys will figure it out someday. It is right in your face.
I have many designs and options built into my tanks. Some are nft like the way Janus uses them,some are nft/shallow dwc combos. I run a drip from the top until my roots pop then they get turned off and just aero from there on out with no water held in reserve. If you have the money then aero is not a risky system to run. The benefits would pay for all the bells and whistles for most rather then run a dwc or rcdwc. As I said before the biggest plant I have seen was from a dtw chow mix in about a 20 gal container hand feed. Money does not create elbows it helps create freedom and some insurance.
I have tried to get people who can not afford my tanks to buy used ice chests and copy my designs. Better then those bins from the box stores.

I call this the lava tub. I figure you could put lava (from walmart for grills), over the airstones like a mountain to just above the surface. The roots on the way down will colonize the nooks and crannys of the lava while water bubbles up around it supercharging it!!!
lol
There is more to the bubbles that maintaining the waters DO. Fatman did not seem to understand that when the bubbles actually come into contact with the roots, the DO reading goes from roughly 12, to whatever the PPM of oxygen is in the air, (like 20,000 or something). Not to mention the continous turbulance created by the bubbles.
J/k - So you don't hate the lava bucket? Awesome. I'll work on it more. Do you think a 6 or 8 inch airstone or such would be good? Im thinking the more area of the lava that can have bubbles going thru it the better.?
