Yea the AG already has a submersible water pump, thats what the drip feed is.So, lets say you've got a submersible pump, air tube, 8" airstone sitting in the AeroGarden's reservoir. Is that pump going to be continually generating bubbles and oxygen flow through the airstone up to the plant roots 24/7?
Is there a comparable mechanism already installed with the AeroGarden that we are choosing not to use in place of the airpump/tube/stone setup instead?
Sorry if I didn't get the jargon exactly right, I'm still somewhat new to this..
But once your plants get enough roots in the water, you'll probably want to turn off the AG built-in water pump.
If you don't, not only does it suck in the roots, but they will also rot in there...
Its the fact that the pump is running keeping your grow medium super wet 24/7 that causes problems.Hrm, they will rot b/c of not turning off the stock AG pump?
Oh wow, I missed that somewhere along the line, my AG pump has been running since I started. I am a week into flowering and it looks like they are both females, but I am off now to disconnect the pump! No need for an airstone at this point either then I guess, same idea an such?Thats what I think too, I even bought a separate master gardener kit... Even if you are using rockwool or something else you would still want to turn the drip feed off when the roots hit water because there is no need for it anymore.
