Its been awhile since I've updated this journal.

Currently I'm using a custom made flood and drain hydroponic system. I flood every 6 hours in each of my bins. I'm running 5.7 ph constant with different advanced nutrients products and I am on a 24/0 photoperiod.

I was tweaking with my different types of water and air pumps, trying to form a hybrid of sorts. I created a lot of effects injecting massive amounts of air into the hose of a 375 gph water pump. I got lots of different effects, not so impressive, bubbles moving through the water tube to the grow beds big deal.....

But then after some more tinkering what I discovered was that if air is injected into a specific area of a high pressure water line at the right angle, the right shaped pipe, right airflow and waterflow; the right shaped oxygen nozzle, you cross a threshold and it makes a very fine hissing sound resulting in billions of microscopic bubbles with optimal surface area; I'm talking aerosol baby....

The water comes out in a jet and fills the 65 gallon grow bed, and there is a super thick white solution of microscopic bubbles that dont float, but rather just whirl around suspended in the water. I noticed oxidation in the form of fizzing around the root masses. And there is a type of foaming around dead veg matter leading me to believe I may be pushing upper thresholds of naturally forming hydrogen peroxide.

I will label my method the "AquaponicHerbs 5 micron venturi hybrid method", or something along those lines.

I'll have some pictures soon. I am very very suprised that no one uses this type of technology, and I have not had many results searching for it on google with cannabis growth.

I need to further perfect this so I can replicate it over and over. The bubbles are so fine that my water looks as white as milk....

I will provide pictures soon.
