I know this sounds crazy, but I was wondering if it would be beneficial to put air stones or wands connected to air pumps in a soil mix so the soil can be aerated. Has this been tried before?

sounds interesting.... but probly not as much as u would think. i think it could be good if you plan on basicly drowning the plant and leaving it in there.... and depending on your soil it is noooot cool to soak, esp with slow release nutes in the soil. that would be bad.

Not planning on soaking the soil. I just thought any extra oxygen to the roots would help. It looks like something I am going to have to try. Thanks for the input.

well i will be trying this in something similar.
im going to have a water bottle with soil in it, and drowned with water. also an airstone. i will have a plant in no soil just water, and another in hydro nutes and water.
the purpose is to see how the liquid soil does in compairson with the hydro nutes, and also the water one will be a control group.
call me crazy! but i love these freak tests i do. i wont be using weed as a plant though. too valuable.

They're called airdomes mate. Coco growers use them all the time. Get scary good results.
I've also tried putting small airstones in a hempy and that works well too.
Not something I've ever seen done in soil though. Not sure if there's a reason for it but I certainly can't think of one. Would eleviate your risk of over watering somewhat I'd imagine too seeing as those problems actually come from a lack of oxygen.
Do 2 clones and try something on one of them. Won't be exactly scientific but be close enough.
