Yha, I found it interesting the fact of the premix. I’m quite positive that the premix oxygenation is a very beneficial step for maximum production of microbial compounds as it is these formations which truly deliver the usable nutes.
With that said, the mixes I used last year also were supposed to be mixed 24 hours pre application along with the fish pump/stone treatment.

Last year, I failed to do any of the oxygenation, I did premix mine the night before and shook it all up really well. I use milk jugs of rain water with a bit of air at the top. I could only imagine how much better the nutes would have taken had I stoned the mix.

Maybe last season she could have been a 6 pounder?

This year I plan on bubbling the mixes. Let’s see if I can get it to produce better.

That is the fun of cannabis, you’re always learning, it can always be better!
