I am always looking at learning new things growing plants and constantly trying to use new techniques and improve on ones i currently use.
I have done everything from dwc rdwc soil coco rockwool stg cubes nft etc,... and thought of something interesting But I'm not sure if any of you have tried or thought about yourselves or if its just a bad idea haha.
but wanted to share it and see if it helps any of you out it would be interesting to hear about the results especially if it helps you out with yield,growth vigor,and overall happy healthy plants with a new Technique while using soil/coco medium.
The idea comes from a common method used by dwc growers and hydroponic Gardeners like myself who introduce air stones into the water solution/nutrient mixture to keep mixture well aerated for the roots which in turn gives explosive root growth When the correct nutrients are added to the solution in a perfect environment for them and availiblity to nutrients is very Abundant and promotes good healthy microbial and beneficial bacteria activity in the root zone etc.
Well I Thought what if I was to put an air stone in the middle and toward bottom of my soil where the roots will grow toward Inside of a large smart pot,I imagine the plants would dry out very quickly But you could use a wicking techniques for that or a drip set up timed on how much she Needs as growth continues
Wouldn't this create a lot of beneficial bacteria that are staying alive and breeding in your medium?
keeping your roots healthier and growing faster with growth speeds Close to Hydroponics?...
I would say as long as the pH is good and the nutrient concentration/runoff isn't too hot you would have happy healthy plants With roots that will never get rotten because of the abundance of oxygen always in the soil.
Anyway thought I would mention it if some of you if you would like to try it out let me know if it works good for you😄 I certainly want to try it on a couple myself and see what turns out from it always trying to improve and I really hope it helps all of you out or if its a dumb idea let me know too lol peace
