Pepper Propagation Race - Aerated vs Stagnant Water 

you should retry the experiment but put the clones in a dark container for the non aerated version in case the light exposure stunted root growth.

I’ve been following your channel for a while. You inspired me to clone some house plants which have been thriving for more than a year now.

Great video, and thanks for sharing all of your learning forays.

love the experiments! keep em comin :)

Thank you for the link!

Thanks🙏🌹, for updates our knowledge, from🇮🇳 india

I enjoy your experiments. I'd like to see you do something where you try and root in carbonated water or maybe a carbonated water feeding vs non carb water feeding and compare growth for a week so as not to run up your costs. Since plants love Co2, they should love some bubbly.

I see in your comment below your tree cutting failed. Still would like to see and learn from what you did. Working on some maples that I pruned some suckers off of earlier this fall. So far a couple of them still have green leaves, so maybe!?! Great channel, love the content, good job!

The plants in the stagnant water were exposed to light whilst those in the cloner were in the dark. Might not have been the reason for the difference but good science would have had them under equal conditions to make direct comparisons.

Great video! I made my own cloner following your idea. Thank you. Wondering if I need to change water in the cloner?

A water pump (with venturi) would be quieter. As long as the water surface is agitated, oxygen will mix in. Now im wondering if humidifier/mist would work. Im waiting for my humidifier machine to be delivered soon. In the meanwhile, in gonna try water propagation with very shallow depth, like 1cm, just barely covering the open cut. Perhaps that way the root gets more oxygen. Attaching a water bottle feeder would keep the water depth constant. One question, does the way of cutting the bottom affects root growth? Would larger exposed wound be better? (Ignoring infection)

Would like to see u try 2 cuttings with 45's with single split and split the 2 cuttings opposite of each other. Would also like to see if different length splits would make a difference. Great videos thank u

I love water bubbles ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎

lmao had to smack like. the intro was hilarious. "People love bubbles'... "well the kratky method sounds stupid then" lmao omg.

Does light play a factor?

I’m wondering if it is the light that is deterring root growth, more than the lack of aeration

I can always get roots 2 weeks faster with the bubbler If not 3 weeks

the split technique, does that work with other plants in general, even cannabi?

The cooker is handy for sure. But you would have better success if you cover the roots from light and add hydrogen peroxide to provide oxygen

What are the settings for you time lapse? Intervals and duration. Thanks.

you need to try to root African Blue Basil plant which is a perennial

Great video, Sir. My airpump is quite noisy and I only leave it on about 1hr/day for my Kratky. Do you have any data of how long it takes for oxygen to leave oxygenated water?

I have tried to cutting chili pepper, but failed because blight. Would you give some tricks?

I propagate my tomatoes all the time in trying to propagate a pepper plant now

If you'd have a cloner "machine" with a dome I'd say the process would have been even faster. First three days no air circulation - from there a bit more every day.

Did you have any nutes in any of the waters?

Hello, pine trees, have the Christmas trees taken root or died?

I thought you had to air layer trees. You can clone tree cuttings? Has anyone tried this exact method but with rose cuttings??

Air is a must is you can't fully regulate the water/room temp.

Are these kept in a dark area or a lighted area?

Did the tree cloning work?

What kinds of Pines are those

Did you add anything to the water

Not to be a downer as I appreciate you sharing your work, but your results may be invalid as light was allowed to hit the root zone of the jar cuttings. It may not make as much of a difference with peppers, but it definitely delays root formation in tomato cuttings. If chloroplasts receive photons they want to photosynthesize and grow, i.e., not put out roots. Darkness and moisture trigger root growth.

It's not equal, plants in the glass should be in dark kups like the clowner.

Propagating trees from cuttings without grafting to root stock is a bad idea… unless you plan to keep it small and supported. They need that taproot for stability.

that seems like a really tiny stone.
