What Are Nanobubbles And Why Should You Care? At 2,500 times smaller than a single grain of salt, it may be hard to believe that nanobubbles would have any significant effect on your cannabis plants. So you might be surprised to learn that nanobubbles could be the key to healthier cannabis. With a record amount of cannabis being grown each year, nanobubbles could hold the key to more efficient and
What is a Dissolved Oxygen System? In August 2021, Enrichment Systems LLC, launched its P-150 Dissolved Oxygen System. “The P-150 Dissolved Oxygen System is the lowest priced and most effective dissolved oxygen solution available in the cannabis market,” says O’Neal. “It is capable of increasing dissolved oxygen levels 500-600%.”
emitter. Because irrigation water can travel through hundreds of feet of irrigation line, including passing through pumps and fertilizer injectors, it is most beneficial to achieve close to 40+ppm dissolved oxygen at the reservoir to reach 20ppm dissolved oxygen at the plant. Enrichment Systems P-150 Dissolved Oxygen System can achieve 40+ppm at the reservoir due to its high throughput pump and efficient nanobubble generator.
Why Should I Care about Nanobubbles? “Nanobubbles,” more frequently referred to as “ultra-fine bubbles,” in scientific literature, are gas bubbles no larger than .1 micron. Nanobubbles display very unusual properties in that they are not physically buoyant and therefore remain in suspension for long periods, up to weeks in some instances. Airstones and bubblers do very little to increase dissolved oxygen levels.

Steven Lipton, Director of Operations of The Flower Shop in Boulder, Colorado, has experimented with the Enrichment Systems P-150 Dissolved Oxygen System and has the following to say: “My preliminary experience with this system has been unqualified positive. I see increased leaf count, stem circumference, and root development very early in veg. EC levels are significantly lower, leading me to believe plants are uptaking nutrients more efficiently. Plants are bigger, stronger and healthier, and remain stronger at every stage of growth.” So there you have it. The key to your next grow operation may be your tiniest asset yet.❖
