""...to evaluate the effect of air injection in subsurface drip irrigation on the performance of Rio Grande Russet Potato. Treatments included subsurface drip irrigation with and without air injection. Stem number and tuber set were increased from 4 to 5 and 7 to 8, respectively, when drip irrigation water was aerated with atmospheric air. Tuber bulking was faster, and terminated earlier under the air-injected drip system, than in the drip system without air injection. Root, stem, and tuber dry mass were observed to be higher under the air-injected drip system than under the drip that did not have air injection.""

I haven't heard of air drippers either H2. I am having a HELL of a time with my SSH seeds. Out of 18 seeds, two never germinated, and the rest are very sensitive to waterlogging. Didn't have this issue with previous grows.

The end result, and the new start, this time I'm scrogging and the plant in the cup has since been potted up to the bucket. It needed an up pot anyway.

Chosen, Thanks!

pearlemae, that's all looking really excellent. Thanks for posting.

As an update, I'm waiting on replacement SSH seeds. Should be here someday.

Then I'm off to the races
