Grow Mediums I want to try hydro, you want to do hydro with me?

Yes, but ive seen others wait for their "dwc-roots"... i checked the root and it continue to grow so they should be ok. I was thinking about the airpump, is it enough? I want maximum air possible for maximum growth.. its on 30Lpm, lets say the system is on 130...

Smallest bubbles possible from a good air stone and a gentle but high volume of air to keep the roots oxygenated - don't have violent action that might damage the roots. I used two Ecoplus 728355 EcoPlus Eco Air 4 Four Outlet - 6.5 Watt 253 GPH (16/Cs) for three reservoirs with two stones in each tank, each stone on a different pump for redundancy.

Okey that is about 2000Lph, i have 1800lph. Whats the total amount of water? I want maximum growth. I do have a bigger airpump on 3600lpm/900gph, but was gonna use that one for my autopots.
I think i will do okey, but i want more then ok, i want WOW, daaamn, first DWC and.. you get where im goingm i also want to win the battle with Dagger

I think you have plenty at 1800. The warmer the reservoir the more bubbles you need.

I have a question if you live in a area that is prone to two to four day power outages due to falling trees and such three or four times a year. I can run a generator and keep my area warm if I kept the bubblers bubbling would they survive a three day outage. That is one of the main reasons I have never tried all out hydro

Get a 12 volt water pump and a 12 volt air pump and you will be fine. And a 12 volt deep cycle marine battery

Are you talking about no lights? Yes, they would survive. But it would depend on what stage the plants were in for flowering it could slow them down and reverse them back into veg.
