Hello- I have 4 bubbler's that get CO2 injection both above and below the rock's because i've noticed good results when I spray O2 inside the bubbler(root zone) the thing is that 3 of my cheap pump's died all at once but i'm still spraying the roots with O2 do I still need air pumps? this is only the second day and so far so good but bubblers can go down hill in a hurry so i'm trying to be safe by getting advice from all you learned types. Thanks

What is the co2 ppm levels in there, too much can kill. You most definatly need those pumps... cause when they need more air to the root zone increasing the co2 levels can be a deadly consequence.
You using DWC buckets right? Cause they are known as bubblers... just making sure we are on the same page!
WHat are you using to inject it in there? genny? Bottles?

Hello- I'm using bottled O2 and I don't have any way of measuring it so i've been using trial and errorr, you know just kinda blasting them with short bursts once a day, I think I pretty much have it down and yep DWC bubblers is the method. I knew that too much O2 is bad but I did'nt know that no air pump + O2 could be REALLY bad I guess I'll have to get some air in there some how,the main reason I was concerned is I have to order the pump's so it will take day's for delivery I hope my girl's will make it...hhhmm maybe i'll just put them in 1 container and use the last pump for all of them until the new ones get here. Thank's for your time and advice

What color are your root zone and is the plant showing any issues?
crooked leaves

The plants leaves are getting kinda crooked looking, sorry I don't have a good camera or i'd show you, their still growing tho, believe it or not they've actually grown almost a quarter inch since I gave them all air bubbles so I guess you were right, maybe it's that combo of too much O2 with no bubbles that tripped them out. I should know real soon as this strain seems to respond remarkably fast to adjustments.I was thinking it might be heat issues but every book I've read about O2 say's to up the temp's to 90 cuz the plants transpire more so the atmosphere needs to be able to accomodate more moisture or possibly deal with mold problems. Thank you for your time
