The Saturday news on root pruning and temperature readings is back a page...here!
InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time
Is gonna work... I have zero doubt.
Happy Sunday Shed and friends

Don't let her die. Guenni pig it! LmaoThanks Stunger! I'm sure they'll be yellowing later in flower though...it's like my trademark.
It was an experiment at @Regrowth's suggestion to see how long I could keep it alive in the solo cup with no modification. I'd say last time it looked healthy was back around 190 days, so that would be the outside time frame. That said, it does have green on it so maybe I can cut it back to the green and see if it will regrow from there!
Thanks, they're always fun to have a gander at.
Excellent!
I truly have no use for it (as I mentioned above) but your suggestions are all spot on! I do have a mother Candida that I replace about every 6-8 months so I don't have to bother with root-pruning and replanting, though that does work perfectly every time.
Come to think of it, maybe I'll see if I can recover this one with a root prune and fresh FFHF! The next experiment perhaps? I wonder if GDB and stardawg approve...
There's another good suggestion! Though I don't have enough room for another 1 gallon pot at the moment. Too many plants/cuttings on the desk at the moment.
You’re just busy busy busy. Happy Sunday and day of rest Shed.

Damn , Shed can you beat that LMAO !Here are mine.
I've not watered them for a couple of days at times.
They have never had dark cups over rhe roots
Starved them
Had very sporadic lighting and darkness periods thanks to loadshedding
Had spider mites ravage them
Had then under poor cfl lighting
I'd say this was a good stress test for genetics. She won't hermie. Great stable genetics to breed with.

I got a Q , if you plant those roots will it grow a plant ?

I love your confidence!
Thanks Carmen. I hope your Monday is coming in smoothly!
Har, will do Mark!
Thank you Nev. The sun is heading down here and the plants are tucked in the tent!
I couldn't even get close.
I can't tell you why but 100% sure it won't. Some will though:
"Root cuttings are used to propagate plants that naturally produce suckers (new shoots) from their roots. Root cuttings can be used to propagate a range of herbaceous perennials in late autumn or early winter when the plants are dormant."

And of special interest to @CaptainLucky, here is the temperature of my nute bottles this morning:
When it's watering day, I pour out 16 ounces, microwave that for 2 minutes, and pour it back in the bottle. Next time I do that I'll remeasure the temp and see how far it goes up (now that it's easy to do)!
Im usually around 68f on feedings and waterings. Should i bump it up the temp to 70f shed?

Nah. As CL
will tell you (repeatedly in different threads if necessary), cooler water holds more oxygen:"Did you know that water at 68 degrees has 10 times more oxygen molecules than at 73 degrees."

Ok so I was just really amazed by the difference in O2 between water temps. And I personally experienced root rot from my own lack of info so like my Uncle Shed I wanted to share wealth. lol CLNah. As CL

And it got better every time you shared it!Ok so I was just really amazed by the difference in O2 between water temps. And I personally experienced root rot from my own lack of info so like my Uncle Shed I wanted to share wealth. lol CL
So what is the ideal water temp for feeding?Ok so I was just really amazed by the difference in O2 between water temps. And I personally experienced root rot from my own lack of info so like my Uncle Shed I wanted to share wealth. lol CL
(BTW, I'm going to need to borrow someone's temp gun.)
Also if you’re growing outside and it’s summer temps you never want to water them in the afternoon you can cause shock to the roots if it’s colder water. CL
and be old school CL.
And how about rooting in water based cloners, have you found ideal temps there?Between 68-70 anything over 73 can lead to pathogens(root rot). CL

Thanks Shed , I know some vine plants will grow shoots from the root . I almost bought a temp gun and had to tell self to hold off a bit LOL
I haven’t had any experience with them but it would seem probable at the same temps seeing that’s the highest O2 temperature. But that’s just speculation as I have no experience with them. CL
I run an aquarium heater in my cloner 78f plus Z7 and Hydroguard is added to keep the pathogens down . I’ve done clones at 72f also and see none are any quicker than the other at these temperatures. I have a cloner going now top signature and it’s ran 78f the whole time . We found out the little warmer water at 73f makes them explode in growth .
Why do you think that the warmer temperatures makes the growth explode? I would’ve thought the more oxygen molecules would be more beneficial and find it interesting it’s not the case. CL
