Oxygen and Seedling roots!

I have been reading for couple days now on the importance of oxygen and seedling roots. From what I'm seeing is is the most important thing for root development.

I am wondering everyone's thoughts on this because I want to run some tests on seedlings.

Doo please put your experience in the comments I will be reading threw out the day and talking.

Yes roots need oxygen. Google will produce plenty of evidence of it. No need to experiment unless you have to see it for yourself.

The experiment is little more in-depth then that. It is said that seedlings use ALOT of oxygen and when depleted they get hungrey until the oxygen is back in the soil.

Well we all know that soil is a natural PH stablizer right? So when pour water onto the soul it draws oxygen into the soul which enables root development. Now what if you could KEEP the soil always oxygenated?

Would we have stronger roots?
Faster root development?
Shorter germination time until veg state?

Of course you should keep your soil oxygenated for healthy plants. No, it will not shorten the seedling stage. It is as simple as mixing up a well structured soil and using sound watering practices. Try starting a seed in a heavy clay mix and you'll see it does very poorly.

I got some clones and realized a few days later that 3 of them had no roots at all! I Placed a clear container over each one that wasn't rooted and misted the plant a couple times a day and watered the soil once every 3 or 4 days. With the soil staying generally dry with a tiny bit of moisture allows them access to oxygen and misting the plants helped them get the water they needed and within a couple days they shot out roots growing about a quarter inch a day

Hmm I am new to the site. It seems there is a lot of trolling and negative people on here. Needless to say it seems either bragging rights or making fun of people is a lot of what people are doing. IDK if I will stick around...

Nice salty that's good turn around on clones man.
