Good question.
This is my own spin off of Hydro VS. Soil. As everyone knows, roots need air, water, and food. The more of each of those they get, the more lush they are. Think about water soaking through soil. It's probably thick, sloppy, and no air is able to get in there to the root zone. If you aerate your water reservoir before you pour it over the soil, the millions of microscopic bubbles that are trapped in the water from the air stone will get directly to your roots fast and they're able to breathe easier. This grow was the first time I tried this technique that I thought of and I saw Explosive growth rates in veg and first 3 weeks of flower because of this. It's a simple common sense approach. Fish need air. Fish live in water. People put air stones in their tanks so they can breathe. I put an air stone in my water reservoir and bubble my yummy nutrients + organic molasses for an hour, and then it's like they're drinking fizzy growing juice. I don't go longer then an hour because A. Some nutrients aren't supposed to be aerated like hydro nutes for long periods, and B. 1 hour works best for me and it's when I know the molasses is active and bubbling, and also helping the Mychorrhizae benefit from it also. Hope this was pretty general.
makes sense, genius idea, im gonna have to give this a try
