Hi!
I've been doing some reading about some unconventional supplements and wonder what y'all think or if you've read it. Apparently Nitric Oxide helps the formation of root hairs.
I know if Nitrous Oxide is dissolved in water the main dissolved species will be Nitric Oxide, but it will also add a Hydroxide group--raising the PH. Anyone ever considered using a seltzer or whipped cream maker to do this, really, I'm asking has anyone tried to give a whippet to their plants.
Fungus and mold are issues when cloning with the higher humidity and temperature, for me at least. I read that UVC lamps, while really bad for your eyes, and skin, are deadly for microorganisms. So I started flashing my clones every day with a UVC lamp. There's information about how much light a lamp will produce and all. But I read something from Stanford that said UVC is most effective against mildew/mold at night, because the organisms sort of lower their shields at night.
Running the UVC lamp with the grow light on seems to be effective for me keeping the clones clean. But. Has anyone tried using a UVC lamp during dark hours like Stanford suggests? Will it break down florigen or cause defects?

Nitric Oxide Functions as a Positive Regulator of Root Hair Development
The root epidermis is composed of two cell types: trichoblasts (or hair cells) and atrichoblasts (or non-hair cells). In lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. Grand Rapids var. Rapidmor oscura) plants grown hydroponically in water, the root epidermis did not form ...

UV light may be ripe to replace chemicals in fungus fight | Cornell Chronicle
Thanks to research led by Cornell AgriTech’s David Gadoury, farmers may no longer have to rely on fungicides to control powdery mildew, a rampant plant fungal disease.
