Suprisingly not it's about the same as our aquarium air pump plus it's on rubber isolation mounts

 

I ran that exact pump and it has quite a hum to it. I would suggest making a small sound booth to house it in to deaden the sound, just make sure it has some ventilation as they run quite hot.

im currently using the round ball air stones and they tend to move around alot in the bottom of the pot...looking for a alternative airstone for DWC, whats the best options to go for? i am and plan to keep running for air stones on a 10 valve high pressure air pump, so i have plenty of air, just want to know whats the best air solution for DWC these days?

 

cheers medicalgrower

 

Its only a suggestion, wouldn't you be better learning how to grow before trying DWC, lots of easier ways to grow with out the hassles of roots sitting in water

Dwc is as old as the hills, works good in Holland, its too fucking hot here, you need to run chillers and shit, its probably ok in winter though

Keep it simple, its only a plant nothing special needed to grow it,

dirt is as good as anything and its hard to fuck up

cheers mate, yeah i know what u mean im only just starting to read and learn what the plants are basically telling me whats wrong. as everyone knows going down this road is a long long learning curve. i could say 2 grows down and iv only just started learning and paying more attention to the plants, basically im starting to notice what wrong with the plant from what the plants trying to tell me eg....leaf symptons etc....
