here are some root shots of my new test subjects. first pic is clone roots after six days in HP system and the last 2 pics are 12 day old roots in HP system(cant lift them out anymore as they are entagled already in the biospheres).
the roots are looking alot better than last time i was severly overwatering until the 6th week. im somewhat overmisting yet now to try and keep the roots down low as long as possible. I also have extended the misters down into the chambers level with the bottom of the pots. this is to encourage the roots to fill in under the netpots as much as possible before fluffing out. as you can see in the one pic they are already starting to climb the wall headed for the mist lines so they can hang and suck up the mist like last time. that is a good thing but not to soon cause i dont want to run out of space in the chambers before the finish.
i had the ec level to high to start with and have finally found the level these are happy with. a ridiculous 120ppm .5 scale.
i know i need larger chambers but wanted to do a few more tests to get everything in order so i know how to design the new chambers. theres going to be some root scrog implemented in the new chambers.
