I recently bought some aquatic plants that were shipped with the roots in those. Made me think about shipping other plants in a similar manner. :wink:

It came from the idea of “how to ship clones from an aero cloner”?

If i put a layer of hydroton at the bottom of the bucket will that help with the oxygen for the roots?

Cheers

4 days ago I soaked my balls :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

They are still swollen :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sob::sob::sob:

They don’t look like they have shrunk :sweat_smile:

I’m thinking this will be great as I can just water once and then give it an extra big dose of LITFA :wink:

Mixing the nutrients in the water before soaking the beads also sounds good too, as the food will not disappear(not sure if it does, but it must degrade)? It will be stored in the balls.

:wink:

I have also used them like Boveda packs for keeping cigars and yes other stuff hydrated. Put some beads or balls😃 in a cloth pouch inside an ammunition box with what ever you need and they work for quite a while.
