Okay, here is the ROOTS plant @ 27.5 inches' root depth;
Last week it was growing downward at 1 inch per day butt now, it has stopped.
WHY? Well, unbeknownst to me, the amount of H2O I have added over the last couple of weeks
has accumulated up to the point where the root stops growing. (!) This is of interest because if
the root stopped because it attained standing water, then that is perhaps why my other plant stopped its
root at 19 inches. I did such a good job snugging and taping the bottom container on (by accident, lol) that
it is just like my vase/submerged roots experiment, previously.
I punctured a tiny hole into the bottom container and it is dripping/seeping out at about
a tablespoon per hour, so, once the water level drops, if it does (SS Mix is very adherent to H2O) the root may continue!
2 NOTES:
>>>The entire apparatus is leaned up against a wall to avoid it tipping over again, so the root grows obediently along the
one side of the plastic tube. Awesome!
>>>The bottom container was INCREDIBLY hard to puncture into - if you need to store/protect something, drink a lot of fruit juice!
Stay Tuned! eric g
