I former posts he said it was unimportant. Recently he stars saying that it is important. About at the same time as Apagee came with a new meter (for consumers) that can also measure FR. That is what makes me suspicious about what he says. For the rest I have no clue if it works or not. Can't...

"we need a bigger bucket" (Inspired by Jaws)

OK. Then I think it has to do with the fact that the roots in soil develop differently than roots in hydro. The structure is different. The hairs are different. Because you now have them in hydro, the roots need time to adjust. At least, that is my opinion and what I think is at least one of...

I am not saying that it does not work (or that it does work) I am just saying that there are no scientific papers in which there is proof for it. If there are, please give me a link. I want to learn about it as well. Not the video of Dr. Bruce Bugbee. Because he is co-founder of the company...

You are absolutely right: There still is no scientific proof that IR equals more yield. Where I live they are doing tests with it in greenhouses, and so far no final results. Some plants might benefit from it, others the opposite. Same thing with UV-lights and the Emerson effect. Most of the...

Great! I hate being stupid. Would love to learn how to do 3D designs and use a 3D-printer.

Do I understand correctly that they came as tall clones in soil ? You removed all the soil? What is your new medium?

Perhaps it is true, I have no idea. Just wanted to give some background information on this Institute.

OK. Never heard that before.

If I'm correct, these pics are taken 21 or 22 days after you cut the clones, right?

Ah, I think I get what your saying. By topping you change a bit how the plant is build. And thus air can reach more leaves inside. Maybe I explain it not very well.

This is the first time I hear this. With which I do not want to say that it is not right. But I think it's incorrect. I think oxygen does not pass through the plant in gaseous state. But it connects to magnesium, for example, and is transported through the plant in this way. But I am not a...

@xtraLRG420 and @diggs99 Yes, I do know what topping is. I do it myself for many years. It is the 'oxygen' part that I was wondering about.

If you mean that many people build a set up that is ultimately too small for the amount of roots or plants, then I agree. I also see that the design is sometimes not well thought out. The advantage of a DIY set up is that you can adjust it for little money (or throw it in the trash can and...

Although they call themselves an Institute and it all sounds very official and scientific... in reality it is just a club of people with hardly any scientific background. They are from the Netherlands and are connected to a club of old time stoners. Fun people and with no bad intentions. But...

How does this work? It is new to me.

I have no knowledge neither any opinion on this. But why do people visit a forum about growing plants and then start arguing about the most ridiculous stuff? So meaningless.

I can't help you with that. Not really familiar with your system.

@Rheaun It doesn't make much sense to post a statement on a forum, and if someone asks for an explanation, repeat the same statement again. Most are here (at least me) to learn something or to become smarter. That is why I asked for an explanation. Which you refuse to give. The only thing...

You changed your post after I replied. So again: Why would roots choke in a DIY build and not in a set up from a shop?
