I think an air pump may be overkill, but if you let your water sit out anyway, and airstone isn't all that bad an idea. MAke sure you check the pH after adding your nutes and before use, and never pre-mix fert solutions.
Good, stagnant water is bad bad bad and the source of a gazillion problems that plague growers.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . First time, having problems Here is my situation: Closet setup, am using a HID florescent ballast for the growth phase then will switch to a HPS bulb for flowering. I have been running the florescent setup 24/7 for a little more than a month now. Plants are beginning to reach a foot tall. Started the seeds directly in standard "kegger" red cups which i cut holes in the bottom for drainage. I will be transplanting to a 6" pot once the plants start to show gender. (will also switch to HPS 12/12 at this point) Rating: 5
