I'm considering a possibility for my next grow that I want to ensure is actually a possibility. I would use waste pipe to suspend the plants up to ten feet horizontally, the waste pipe would be filled with hydroton and a reservoir bin at the end of each line would be heavily aerated. My question is, cuz I grow in DWC and that's my entire hydro experience, would it be alright to just aerate that final reservoir instead of having aeration along the way in the actual waste pipe? I could possibly do the latter, but it would be a lot easier if I could just aerate the reservoir. I have heard from some that as long as you're aerating the same body of water, you're good, and I've heard from others that you need to provide direct aeration to the roots. If I can just aerate the reservoir I could have that SOB bubbling like crazy, but if not then I could just drill in inserts to put air stones along the bottom of the waste pipe. Keep in mind, the waste line would extend a minimum of four and a maximum of sixteen feet from the reservoir.
