Good morning everyone,
So I have been working on a new water system that implemented both Vortex & air Stonesā¦
I didnāt have a 55 gallon spot, But Iām kinda crafty ( like most smokers are ) .
ALL RAINWATER!! FOR THIS.
- 5 gallon buckets
Hot glue gun or silicone will work, but you maybe waiting a day to use with the silicone.
2.5 pvc
Air pump w/ 2 air stones
Water pump
1/2 water line (pvc)
Not only do you get the benefit for all the oxygen, the water stays about 76 to 78 at all times. Ph 6.2 . I have a hose coming today so I canāt wait!! Like a little kid lmaoā¦I love growingā¦ just in generalā¦
and the novice builder can do this under 30 bucks.
Just in case anyone else is DDing water lolā¦
Happy Growing!!

I also think adding extra air to your water helps. This is for our teas.
This was the setup this past year. Kinda just have to work with what you have.

I kinda like the organic way of doing things, fill up filtered water, I add bat guano, worm castings,liquid kelp,sometimes a tad of Epsom salts,molasses brew for 24 hrs make sure ph is cool dump on plants lol Oh also use seabird guano depending if Iām water for veg or flower. Always use bat guano and seabird guano but adjust how much per what room Iām watering. Nitrogen more in veg but still nitrogen in flower but minimal amountsā¦ I do use ph up/down and cal mag but probably not as much as others use in hereā¦ Thatās itā¦ Partner sneaks in this terpintaor in on me sometimes though 
Thatās it from start to finish but I have considered that ff trio just to test it out but whatās not broken why fix itā¦

Back in the early 80s I grew in my garden all I used was miracle grow 20-20-20 lol had awesome luck actually. Only a few places u could buy seeds in the old days (Holland) and your chances of receiving them for me anyway was like 30% you got them and 70% you didnātā¦ (Neville) seed bank and someplace else canāt recall but was only the two I knew of thenā¦Times change some for the good and some not. In 70s and 80s āwhatās a cell phoneā? Funny!
