I need some opinions on this. It is an experimental setup. There are 2 plants per container, but that is beside the point and was done just out of laziness and for fun..
The containers are 2-liter bottles, with many holes poked into them all the way down to the bottom. They are submerged in water withan organic nute solution and an aerator stone.
I was wondering, what will happen.. They have been stuck into this setup after being in soil during seedling stage, then transplanted into these 2-liter bottles, and the soil would need to be watered every single day instead of usual every 3-4 days to a week..
Will the holes in the containers allow the oxygenated water to travel to the roots through the soil? Will the oxygen still be in larger concentrations when traveling to the roots? What will it be once it does get to the roots?
If they are in this kind of setup, will they get as much oxygen as a hydro setup and have the benefits of an organic soil grow? Will this setup even work, and if so, is it a good new way to grow? Will this increase any factors as opposed to doing a traditional organic or hydro grow, or will it just combine both into one system effectively?
(sidenote-the leaves were yellowing before this was set up. They wanted food very early on in growth, and just started to get it recently!)
What does everyone think?
