Grabbed a DO meter from atlas. Going to try raising my root bed temperature twords the end of lights on, and then deliver DO water around 50 degrees, before bed and a few times through the night.
def take note report back im interested in the results of your change

I only have like 20 days left on this run, and then i am going to get setup for a try. At this point I think I’m going to try and send the water out of a keg. I need a good way to oxygenate inline… And get the DO really high… like 99+%
If you use a Keg you could use an O2 injector off of that like $200
I’m a chemist, not a grower, but are you guys controlling reservoir temps?

Yes he is by lowering the temp to gain more O2 dissolved

There is a lot of published research that shows that maintaining hydroponic DO at 20 ppm or above increases plant yield. That said, I have not seen any published data on hydroponic DO and cannabis yield.

Gotta make it exciting or else it’s just mundane lol
… says the dead guy laying on the floor near the ozone generator.
A beautiful death. Feed me to the bitches
I’ll probably blow myself up first with an oxygen tank anyway.
be carful I have a flow restriction valve for all my tanks

This might be similar to the product posted above.
I know about this product from bass fishing tournaments. It was originally designed to keep fish alive in livewells. The owner sold the rights for that use to TH Marine. It is now standard equipment built into high end bass boats. He repuropsed the tech for cannabis cultivation and markets it for that purpose now. I believe it uses electrolysis to create pure O2. It will dramatically increase the O2 levels in your water. Never grew with it but it keeps fish alive 100. They also have some case studies from the University of Minnesota posted on their site.
Thought this might be helpful.

While that unit might hit 10-12 ppm at reservoir and deliver 8ppm to the root zone, ours can reach as high as 50ppm in the reservoir. We are seeing well above 25ppm at root zone through blumats

Didn’t know it was yours lol. I thought you were just posting a link so i wasn’t sure what to think of the claims in the ad. I haven’t actually run this tech because it could only do a 250 gallon tank back when i was running bigger farm . If I ever build another indoor that thing would definitely be included. Whats the price on it?
It did run it in my boat I guess lol

Haha all good. I will post videos and testimonials from some pretty large facilities discussing benefits and results since using our equipment. As well as some white papers on oxygen nano bubbles.
Price is $10,000 (I can discount future4200 members) which includes 2 year warranty and help setting up/troubleshooting but it’s an extremely simple “plug-n-play” set up. OPEX is minimal as you only run it for as long as it takes to saturate the reservoir.
One facility was about to toss 6000 plants due to a pathogen outbreak but completely reversed the issue after a week of using this unit.
My friends brought this technology to market and gave me one of the first to run R&D and sell. I believe there are significant benefits outside of agriculture but that is our main demographic at the moment.
We will be at mjbizcon if anybody wants to check it out.
Or any AZ locals, I can bring a unit over to fill your reservoir and test it yourself.

This will revolutionize hydro. Can’t wait to see someone run it on DWC.
