Yes air pump to a 12" air stone, lots of movement, I also ebb and flow the GBs. We don't get maxicrop up here so I have been adding blood meal and I have a banana peel buried in the GB for potassium. I was supposed to wash my hydrocorns with a pH- solution before using them. I feel that they are acting as a buffer, so it doesn't seem to matter what I do. I will leave it for now, good advice, it's annoying having to keep dosing the water. Keith have you seen the pictures of my plants?
Cheers,
Jared
