A bit off topic but here’s a look at the inside of a rapid rooter plug with a rooted cutting inside of it. I was discarding this cut as I have several others that are ready and I have no room for it currently.
Anyhow I used
clonex gel and allowed this clone to go several weeks past when it developed roots. It actually started growing hydroponically but was stunted due to lack of nutrients. I used plain tap water at a ph of 7.2. But the roots look pretty healthy and had I planted it, it would have taken off quickly.
I wanted to show how roots like growing down vs out to the side. They grow out to the side when downward mobility is limiting their travel. Why is this important? It’s the main principal in my product The Growing Pot. I’ve observed this behavior over a number of years with many plants. I know it’s not ground breaking science but it’s one driving factor behind my products design.
Now on to the next batch of clones.
