I’m going to launch a new thread when this comes online but reached a milestone today so here is a sneak peak.

Yeah getting the hardware complete. With all the interruptions it's taken too long. I'm salivating to get this running.Cool! Is the milestone getting all the rigs built? I recall seeing some of your work on this earlier on but didnt catch what the ultimate goal was with the system.
So I have seen first hand what O2 in the roots do to growth rates. I’ve seen what aeroponics is capable of. I’ve seen what proper spectrum can do. I know what getting the nutes right looks like.Must be comfortable and half sober ! Lol looking forward to this system working out for ya ! Ur gonna make all better growers in the process ! Fire it up!
You have probably not seen this, this is what I’m building on top of. Improve on this.subbed up and looking forward to this!
For comparison sake, here's a picture of a plant from my veg room of what i consider a healthy sample.You have probably not seen this, this is what I’m building on top of. Improve on this.

I believe that was at 3.5 weeks after the seedling popped thru the coco.
This was when i was splitting the O2 between 4 systems that were leaking kinda bad. I think I have solved that problem. I should be able to get much closer to the 90% the concentrator spits out in the root zones now.
The plants were just bonkers none the less. And this was without CO2 injection at the time.
Healthy healthy healthy!
Sounds like they found the glory hole of nutrients and dont need to dig any deeper.I know white makes me feel better, I'm not 100% the plant cares.
What I find interesting about the fog roots is how much less they are rope-like. Millions of tiny hairs, unlike RDWC. It seems to me that uptake into fog roots is faster because of all the added surface area. But I'm guessing only, need a lot more testing to even come up with a strong hypothesis.
DFGyea definitely can see the difference in the fine hairs. I used hydro bio in my rdwc system and even at 1/4 strength it dyed my roots (has molasses / humic and fulvic in it) not a fan as I to want to see bone white roots in my system. I didnt use it this last change and all my new roots are pristine white, and the old roots have a dyed brown color I am NOT a fan off lol. just about had a heart attack first time I opened the lid after using the hydro bio
Yea I have to commit to just running sterile. My bleeding heart wanted it to be a "more living" like I am used to in soil....but since I joined the darkside by going to hydro - gonna have to just double down and commit to running super cleanDFG
First off funny that is the water police here in Cali, or was. department of Fish and Game. Humic is not needed in Hydro. Molasses is to feed the microbes in the system and will create a spike in population what will die off once the molasses has been consumed by the microbes. Best to just use a folvic product with hydro.
Are you using anything to keep the system sterile?Yea I have to commit to just running sterile. My bleeding heart wanted it to be a "more living" like I am used to in soil....but since I joined the darkside by going to hydro - gonna have to just double down and commit to running super clean
H2O2 does present more challenges. There are others that do not attack roots so muchFWIW, I have been running live systems up until recently and definitely think live is the way to go if you can do that.
I have one system running sterile because I do not have an extra chiller, water temps get near 80F some days and I have been down the root rot road before so am using h2o2, 3% at 50 ml in the system once a week. I have noticed this plant is not doing nearly as well as my other 3 completed hydro grows. Admittedly I did have overfeeding issues with this plant and that could have caused a lot of what I am seeing, think I got that solved. The strain is also a finicky one which could also be a cause. I even thought about scraping this grow but I'm too far in to give up on her now. Going to flip this one to flower and see if I can get her to stretch some.
It's my first go at sterile, not 100% sold on it yet.
Fucking sick, Professor.I’m going to launch a new thread when this comes online but reached a milestone today so here is a sneak peak.

Surface area, makes sense.I know white makes me feel better, I'm not 100% the plant cares.

Yes, I have already done this a few times. The results spoke for themselves.So your gonna pound the roots with oxygen at some point? I've been seeing stuff about a tomato plant grown in prehistoric oxygen levels (about 10% higher oxygen they said) and the plant just grew massive, I believe they grew it in a Disney grow facility or some shit....called it the tomato tree....yielded like 30,000 maters
I do t know if io is the same one but I’ve been thru that Disney garden ! Talk about impressive the veggies are ridiculous I’d love to see a cannabis tree in there !
