Whats up farm fam, been busy rebuilding my coco beds and adding some upgrades. After alot of research i decided to airate the bottom of my root zone. I looked extensively at Alita silicone air deffusers( its basically a hose with slits in it that provides airation, from micro bubbles to large bubbles). Problem is in order for it to make micro bubbles it needs at least 3 ft of water, and since that is not the case for my beds i scrapped the idea of usi g it and decided to make my own air hose defusser using latex hoses , and applying my own slits. I dont really need the micro bubbles neways, and latex is alot cheaper then silicone!

So my question is, is their any concern with having latex in my root zone.

I plan on Doing a pictorial of my new Beds so keep an eye out for that thread.
Thnx for the help.

Im not sure of its designed application, its jus latex hose i got from home depot. I choose it due to its similarities of Alitas silicone hose deffusier, but at a fraction of the cost.
Ill take a lix n post it later.
