hey guys I am planning on trying air injected soil grow for both my ladies and my vegetable garden. Does any one have experience in making a large scale air injected soil grow? also was thinking of doing outside. I already do my vegetables in DWC but id love to add the benefits of soil for taste. Thank you for your time.

What happened to your dog? Can you re-phrase this so we can properly answer your question? What are you exactly trying to do?

You have no need to inject air into soil as there is more than enough in the soil, do add sand or perlite, should you want more, even then it's for over nuted/hot soils or clay bound ....go figure

just remember this your pot size is about 1/2 the size of just straight soil. you going with open or closed pots with drain plugs? are they gonna jsut be in veg as mothers or train and take to bloom? i can answer your questions. remember transplanting them will be a chore so start with the right size pots.

I am not sure about being able to do a hydro/soil hybrid outdoors...I've seen some crazy ideas that do include a sort of layered DWC with a dense soil layer on top with a layer of rocks on top of the air stones in an attempkeep the o2 from escaping. I don't know if said method works any better, unlikely since it doesn't seem to be used in any professional agriculture section. If you really think your roots getting a lot of air in a soil setting than just use smart pots.

personally, I wouldn't bother with any of the above. I subscribe to K.I.S.S.

They're in a greenhouse, I filled a 100 gallon tub w river rock then placed 8 airstones in the bottom, put a screen over it and placed my homemade supersoil above it. Placed the same setup w just soil in the tub next to it. Flowered 6 in soil and 12 in the first tub. The 12 produced an average of 50 grams and the soil ones produced an average of 30 and there was a huge difference in tricomes and stem thickness

did you keep your soil wet/moist at all times? that is important. and after each harvest tear it down clean it. toss air stones they break down. hit me up in a couple hrs im redoing flower room with 600 hps and ac.

Oh of course I maintained it daily and I plan on dumping everything an starting over every grow best way to go. My indoor room doesn't have the room or I would switch to soil injected
