Many different water pumps are used by many different growers. Question s about water pump outlet head pressures and pump outlet volumes.
I’m looking for a good quality water pump that generated an outlet pump pressure of 40 or (2.7 ATMA) - 50 PSI or (3.4 ATMA) and has an outlet pump volume of...
Many hobbyist are often confronted with Pythium and other fungal outbreaks. Hobbyist have basically 3 choices when it comes to catching a dose of the Pythium and or other fungal root rot diseases…
Prevent the disease, treat the disease or trash the whole project, disinfect the farm and...

I have found that prices for a bottle of CO2 can vary dramatically from shop to shop, this side of town to the other side of town. How much do you pay for a bottle of CO2?
The Fallacy of Insuring Minimal Safe Oxygenating RDWC Using Hydrogen Peroxide – They say that if you are really into “cheap oxygenation,” then surely one of the cheapest and easiest ways to oxygenate your nutrient solution is to use hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). They say that H2O2 can particularly...

How to control Pythium in hydroponics?
By Noucetta Kehdi
A dynamic, well-designed growing system, a clean, highly oxygenated water, a well-drained substrate, good ventilation, and the right temperature and humidity levels, are the main ingredients to success when growing...
Grow Hack: 5 Facts About Dissolved Oxygen http://www.hightimes.com/read/grow-hack-5-facts-about-dissolved-oxygenBy Sirius J · Tue May 05, 2015
Serious J links this article to new equipment that oxygenates RDWC and POT cultures with pure 100% oxygen produced with simple electrolysis, and then...
How about great light, air circulation, continuous 60F air temp on top and controlled 82F nutrient water temp for root zone and microbe colonies. Foliage likes it cool, warm water insures higher metabolism for roots and microbe growth? Sounds like a winner to me.
Thoughts and opinions?

The hydroponic nutrient solution is not just a mix of fertilizer salts and water… One of the most important of these is dissolved oxygen, which...
Looking to learn and share cutting edge DWC techniques with new friends and high techer's on the forum. Posted my 1st post in the "General Forum" today getting started early:
DWC and Oxygen (an essential nutrient), not air, aeration or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
Cheers

Lately, I’ve been reading about the positive effects of dissolving oxygen continuously to insure minimal safe DWC dissolved oxygen saturations and even DO supersaturation.
Water that is low in DO is evidently a problem for some farmers, root zone hypoxia, fungi proliferation, root damage, all...
