Looks like ANC may have exposed the salesman “rocketman” is constantly pissing and moaning and always whining about when he’s in a drugged-stupor? No insult intended “rocket.”

So who in the world is this guy in this infomercial video?

Is this J Henry as “rocketman” claims?

Could this be ANC coming out today?

Or maybe this is really Mr. Billy Bob Lancaster, the Own in this O2Grow infomercial?

Lol, no such luck, the video came up in my queue on youtube about 2 days ago, was easy to find in history.

I am also pro oxygen for the root area and go to great lengths for this.

I am an aquarium hobbyist, so DO is something I am very familiar with. Many cannabis hobbyists fret like mad over it and very few of us are actually deficient until our reservoir temps get over 80°f. Chillers do help DO, cool water has more DO potential, but it really isn’t that hard to keep your DO up. I see a lot of giant noisy airpumps big enough to power bubblers for a whole fish store aerating a handful of buckets or tubs, people complaining about the noise, it’s so far past overkill that it makes me sad sometimes. One waterfall is just as effective, if not more so. That said, I do both airstones and waterfalls for redundancy. I use Tetra brand airpumps rated for 60-100 gallon aquariums, they are quiet.

I've seen people do test comparing all kinds of agitation and shenanigans and the results were normally within 1% of each other....
The MOST IMPORTANT factor governing DO is water temperature.

That is a bold statement.
Could also explain why?
And please don't come up with the explanation that colder water can hold more DO, because the differences between water of different temperatures are not significant.
At 20 ° C / 68 °F water contains 9.2 milli grams of oxygen per liter
At 25 ° C / 77 ° F it is 8.4 mg's
At 30 ° C / 86 °F it is 7.6 mg's
And when the plants or fish consume some of this oxygen, it is complemented right away because of the bubbles/waterfall/flooming/circulating. Or you must have 100 kilo of roots in a reservoir of a 100 liter, or 100 Koi in an aquarium of 200 liter. In those cases oxygen is faster consumed then it can be added because of air pressure.

define kill. Generally the bleach will kill the pythium but the fucked up roots aren't going to get healthy again. Use of an enzyme would be helpful in breaking down the dead root tissue. So if there are enough healthy roots to keep the plant alive, it will then be able to grow more roots. The overall success will depend on how much root mass is lost to disease and what stage of growth the plant is in.
