Time Lapse Video of Roots Forming

[slackdave]

Is there nothing in the water?

I have with some plants succeeded with plain water.. but last time I failed!

This looks like you'd have a bubbler in there though, do you?

[betucazz]

could u tell me how to do a stem of nepenthes carnivorus plant??

[gzeter101]

You are actually the idiot, the roots need aerated soil (in general) to absorb phosphorus, nitrogen etc. That is why earthworms are so important for the soil.

[jenn1ifer]

the roots can breathe in that water? dont they need to be arrated with airstones so they can breath in the water? roots will get root rot and turn brown if left in stagnant water.

[hobahfish]

idiot its called photosynthesis the leaves do the breathin

[a2vr6t]

@hobahfish Are you normally this much of an ass to somebody asking a nice legit question?

[brahizzle]

[Pass3Part0ut]

either will do, brita is probably the best i'd say

[brahizzle]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oldfizban]

That is an awesome video, I remember helping prepare to film it.

However it actually took 10 days :).

Still really nice, but the warehouse it was filmed in was not perfect conditions, so that is why it was 10 days, but who can complain!

[aurumvore]

Don't the roots have to be light-tight?

[Bewellfarmer]

Doesn't appear so.

[jmarler2010]

@Bewellfarmer It needs to be light tight to prevent alge blooms in nutrirent rich water. However, most seedlings and cuttings go into a mix very nutrient lite mix so light causing alge blooms is not as much of a concern.

Nice Video!

[shadey101]

no indirect light works fine

[oldfizban]

That was a demo unit, they are clear, the real units are blacked out for better rooting.

[marcjtdc]

it helps

[hanslutherh]

@aurumvore

it depends on the plant. think of plants growing in an aquarium under the flourescent light, much different than a plant like cannabis.

[bieli0]

@aurumvore only UV light destroys roots. normal CF or regular light bulbs dont hurt em.

[Xanubi]

It's neat how that once the roots start forming the plants start moving around like crazy

[voidenter]

how long did that take?

[assasin4892]

yup

[LillSammyGirl]

cool
