    Absolutely essential in DWC not so in RDWC with a decent recirc pump...

    Oh just remembered you modded your wilma so technically it's recirculating...That would defo benefit form air-stones because your getting the oxygen direct to the roots...If your medium is coco or clays you could run your drippers 24/7 that would omit the need for air-stones..

    Iv a recirc pump in it but The roots will be hitting the res tank soon. Like a root from each plant has but I made bigger holes so they all can. Or would you still class that as recirc ?

    I’m running clay pebbles. And made feed rings. So what would you think then ? I have a pump what keeps the water circulating so it’s not sitting in between. Should I run that 24/7 or should I give them a break. Very helpful bud.

    I have another question. Iv got everything running stable. Res temps etc. Last night my ppm was 450. Now it says 420 this morning. How low do you drop before you add more nutes again ?
