Pretty interesting, thought I would share :)

I wonder how fast a clone could root, or differently a seedling might sprout, in a glass jar submerged in a large fish tank?

Maybe it adds an unusual type of stress, to produce a mutant plant that grows 30% more yield once transplanted in a normal environment. After it spends a few days in a hyperbaric decompression chamber of course!

A future experiment perhaps...


Come to think of it: the cool part about using a fish tank, is the fact that the water IS the medium, unlike the salt water domes in the vids that rely on condensation for the res.


If you placed an air stone under the floating hydro medium bed (kept in place by the jar/dome) where the roots are growing, it might not only act as a DWC aqua-ponic system, but possibly bubble up though supplying fresh air inside the pocket!


Seems like a crazy concept, but maybe they are really on to something.Those are some pretty bold claims if you ask me. What do you guys think?
