As my wise old granny used to say "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", but when you are focused on drugs, all you see is pills. And if you are supporting chemicals (that simply treat symptoms), why look at things that mean you don't ever have to use them?There appears to be a trend for Nonaerated teas to reduce the incidence, but not the severity, of foliar diseases.
And in February when you asked the same question again, Cynthia chided you to reread; she was right, too...A nice medium bubble has decent lift (for mixing) and still a nice surface area. The real trick is getting the bottom stuff to the surface; most of the gas exchange in any liquid happens there. Too fine a bubble makes for slow mixing... If you are making 5 gallons, anything that moves your water 3-4 times a minute would be great so think 15 to 20 gpm pump. A six inch airstone should do you; make sure to soak it in hydrogen peroxide with a little white vinegar between uses to keep the build-up and biological contaminants down...
