I'll get drill bits soon so I can do more plants, easier better seal holes.

The electric nail filers worked pretty well though.

 

[Observer]

Maybe elevate it a foot for a drain hole into another tub I could quickly empty.

 

[Observer]

I maybe could do closer to 20 minutes off right now....hmm

 

[Observer]

This is fucking cool though

Just growing in air....access to atmospheric oxygen.

At this point, its no longer "dissolved oxygen" (?) It's just...oxygen lol.

Idk?

There's atleast 2 things I could do maybe further increase oxygenation

Either some type of o2 injection to the tote, or oxygenating my irrigation solution.

Would love to have an ORP sensor.

 

[Observer]

Example

This might be kinda "gimmicky" but.... maybe it could be beneficial too.

Maybe I could use this with my irrigation solution or directly in the tote, lol.

@Aqua Man

One of the OGs who helped educate me to get to this point

Along Moe.

Here's my "crude" aerosystem, that I've talked about years ago.

If you remember when I was doing that "manual" "aerotote"

 

[Observer]

I liked Moe's idea with stuffing the net cups with coco, as his logic was the coco creates a bunch of stopping points, meaning the roots branch out more, before getting to the great root fog/dwc zone.

I might try that when I get the other netcups & seeds going, out of wool, but have some pure coco.

 

[Observer]

Easy to scoop the water out.

...3 hours later...

@steamroller


Here's some "cold Steam" Rollin over roots.

 

[Observer]

Pretty satisfied with that mist, I still kinda wanna try to get it smaller if possible, via nozzle diameter.

"Pretty aero"

 

[Observer]

So fucking stoked to Observe how this develops, or doesn't. Lol

Stevie roller wonder

Here's some "cold Steam" Rollin over roots.

That shittfully installed irrigation line waving like frequencies

Symbolism of the flow of reality, waves, frequencies and Vibrations.

@Observer I like the high pressure setup, should be a few steps up over low pressure for sure.

I have a little insight into this:

Mycos have worked for me in hydro, in DWC, aero, and RDWC. The catch, I had to start with "clean" water to be able to go live without any baddies growing and without killing the good ones. The easiest way for me is to just start with RODI water, no dechlorination needed.

I'd like to think that's why I have the biggest and healthiest roots and plants I've ever had this go.

I think this was a week or two before switching to flower. I'm scared to even look how big they are now. This is all live with beneficial bacteria, tricha, and mycrohorzie.
Gets fuzzy and all that good shit lol

You might need/could "veg" shorter times with roots looking like that going into flower lol.

I just heard the pump come on for 6 seconds while In the bathroom


Niceee.

 

[Observer]

Don't mind me talking to my self like a madman scientist

Lol

 

[Observer]

24/7 probes make this easier and more efficient.

Having to manually check these gallons due to unstable pH drifts...weak citric acid 0 buffering at the moment

Working with what I got

May go to a grow store soon

 

[Observer]

I bet this pH is incorrect.

 

[Observer]

I'll check it

 

[Observer]

Need recalibration chems for my bluelab e.c and pH sensors

 

[Observer]

I bet this pH is incorrect.

Ok, in the "closed" gallon its better than I expected

That's acceptable

But I'll dose it back down to 5.4-

~0.3 drift over 5~ hours, with CITRIC acid.

 

[Observer]

Added 1 drop of this pure water citric acid combo at unknown strength

Could be too much, could be ok.

 

[Observer]

Great now I gotta do it all over again to add fucking water to this so it doesn't dry while I'm asleep.



Fucking knocked the cup over testing the pH...
.....

Wasting more shit & time

 

[Observer]

Potential Benefits: As discussed earlier, a more branched root system can lead to improved nutrient and water uptake, better anchorage, and potentially faster growth.

Controlled Experiment Results: This provides clear evidence supporting your hypothesis that pinching the tap root promotes root branching.

Comparison: The direct comparison between this image and the single tap root image highlights the impact of your experiment.

 

[Observer]

Stoked.

17m off 6s on currently.

 

[Observer]

Humid in the tote, help keep the root zone moist.

 

[Observer]

.

 

[Observer]

Need to try and lay down soon....

One more cycle....

 

[Aqua Man]

I’d go with phosphoric acid bro… it will hold the pH much longer
