What is the air pump?
Hey abby's hydro system for weed growing is based on the Deep Water Culture (DWC) method.
In a DWC cannabis system, the air pump serves a crucial role in maintaining the oxygen levels in the nutrient solution. Plant roots are suspended in a nutrient-rich water solution, which provides them with the necessary nutrients and water for growth. However, the roots also require oxygen to support their metabolic processes.
An air pump in hey abby grow box is connected to an air stone, which is placed at the bottom of the reservoir containing the nutrient solution. When the air pump is turned on, it forces air through the tubing and into the air stones, which then release the air in the form of tiny bubbles. As these bubbles rise to the surface, they create a continuous flow of dissolved oxygen in the nutrient solution.
The air pump has a lifespan of approximately 10,000 hours and is not easily subject to breakage. If you believe there is an issue with the air pump, please first consult our support team.
No Bubbles
First, make sure your abby isn't in the germination period. The air pump doesn't work if your plant is in the germination period.
If you have started planting in APP , and your abby isn't in the germination period, remove the air stone, and check whether the bubbles are normal.
If it's normal, that means the air stone isn't working. You should replace it with a new one.
If removing the air stone doesn't fix the bubble issue, try this:
Turn off the power, check if the hose or terminal is loose, and unplug them.Then plug everything back in securely, power it on again, and see if the bubbles return to normal.
Here're the specific steps:
Remove the 8 screws
2. Unplug them and plug them in again
