New Grower Ikon Oxy Pot Question

[dman78]

The Ikon buckets come with submesable pumps,you put the pump at the bottom of the bucket,the hose is connected to the pump to draw air from outside through the pump and into your water,it should all be explained in the instructions,however they don't give off a lot of oxygen,your better off buying a bigger pump that gives you more litres per minute,hope I've helped

so is the pump submerged in water with the electric cable ?

 

[Captain]

what pump would you recommend ?

Yes,it is submerged with the cable,I got a pump with a rating of 20L/min,its a hailea with a blue metal casing,search on ebay for 20L/min air pump,more oxygen to your roots means a healthier plant which in return means a bigger yield

:five:I was about to post that if its in or out of the bucket ...its prob not going to be enough air .Ideally you would have 30lpm (liters of air per min) going into each bucket .If your looking to grow BIG plants a small pump wont do the job mate .. check this thread ... https://www.autoflower.org/f61/help-me-figure-out-my-feed-anyone-21000.html.

the hailea super silent v-30 for 1 bucket or the v-60 for two is perfect... dman does good with 20lpm so thats fine as well ! .Im guessing by choosing DWC your after big girls ?.If so I recommend these !.

you should start a grow journal Cap ... get all the help you need in 1 place ect :group:

the hailea super silent v-30 for 1 bucket or the v-60 for two is perfect... you could go a bit smaller & still get good results .Im guessing by choosing DWC your after big girls ?.If so I recommend these !.
