I can handle a few more if you'd add pictures....Just like Dick and Jane books...big pictures big print....I’m learning so much about microbes right now.
I am more convinced than ever that a live res is the preferred way to grow if you attempting to hack into some process to steer the growth of the plant.
If there are any sterile growers out there that require convincing I’m ready to debate any portion of that live vs sterile debate.
I can see myself growing my own cultures in qty going forward. I’m envisioning a very low level of carbs and a full dose of cultures in each of the nutrient supply tanks giving a constant supply of colonies in the right proportions.
I can’t do it this run because these are going to be sisters not clones, but I like the idea of doing 1 res h2o2, 1 res nothing, 1 res full spectrum great white, and one with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens only. Run the same nutes and all other conditions equal.
@Trustfall is coming thru with genetics for the RDWC system. I think taking clones from one of those incoming plants might be a good way to test this out. Those are well known genetics with several pictures on the farm in many grow conditions.
So, there is the setup to help me get thru this college course. We’ll call this the required lab for “understanding root zone interactions in the presence of sugars and symbiotic organisms 101. “
And for my good buddy Pipecarver who wishes my posts were 2 sentences long max:
TLDR: I’m gonna observe the plant response to sugars, beneficial bacteria, and fungus in the root zone against a set of controls. I’ll grow 8 clones in the same system and treat them differently to do this.
