Hey Rumple, are your plant's roots constantly submersed in your water/solution or do they flood/drain? Is this the reason for the airstones? My guess is thats why its called a bubble bucket. The reason why i ask is i think im gonna do ebb&flow 5gal buckets and was thinking should i have an airstone in each bucket or an irrigation pump in the rez? Or do i even need this considering when the pots drain back in to the reservoir gravity from the water draining pulls fresh air into the roots (advertised this way).

ANYONE FEEL FREE TO GIVE YOUR OPINIONS...

THANKS
