NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!4 day Zelkova Seedling Air-layer.
This one looks to be just about ready to push roots.Only 4 days.I expect roots in 2 more days.
I also did 3 more this evening.

What substrate are you using? Just perlite? Any fertilizer or anything? How long do you plan on keeping the plants in there?Japanese Maples
Transplanted 30 of these.Giving a bit more light.I’m wondering if I can give some more after they settle.They should handle it nicely.Especially since room to grow and all leaves in good light.Will make seedling air-layers if they are conducive to rooting quickly like Zelkova are.They need to get more vigorous first before I proceed.

Yea,just perlite.Drain to waste hydroponics.What substrate are you using? Just perlite? Any fertilizer or anything? How long do you plan on keeping the plants in there?
Hmm I might try a simplified version of this to grow jacaranda seedling air-layers. Since jacaranda seeds germinate so aggressively I could graft a mature scion onto a seedling rootstock to try to get the mature blooms.Yea,just perlite.Drain to waste hydroponics.
These are destined to become seedling air-layers like I did with the zelkova(though never tried maples).Soon as they are about 1/4” thick I will girdle them for better roots and grow till’ Spring and either sell or put in ground till next Spring then I may bring inside for quick development.We’ll see.
Seedlings such as this I must admit I get very technical.......I am learning,this is first attempt from a class I attended.I boost calcium,L amino acids,kelp,fulvic and humic acids....and run a very low EC(nutrient solution strength) With slightly less than adequate nitrogen and 1:1ratio with potassium so no photosynthetic energy is wasted on excessive growth.Instead the energy makes chemical reactions in leaf that help rooting considerably(mother plant theory).
Here is article and also can search his online video classes.I bought the whole set.Very interesting Dutch growing techniqes.
I use Botanicare hydro nutrients along with other sources for tech grade amino acids and stuff.

That’s crazy looking. This is such a great thread. Thanks for sharing. I’m glad your classes are paying off so well.Zelkova seedling air layer 6 days in
I bet it pushes roots tomorrow.Hopefully a lot.I’m watering with the mother plant formula.
Definately see a difference in callous mass and even the secondary callous ring up top forming with the new propagation knowledge compared with what I used to do.
Usually takes about 16 days,but this should be ready in nearly half the time!

Thanks, Tyro! It is fun making them....the faster the better.Now just need to figure how many I can fit on the table.I hooked up a third light today with a couple qb’s on it.That’s crazy looking. This is such a great thread. Thanks for sharing. I’m glad your classes are paying off so well.
Thanks,We’ll see.I will probably sell it before that,but I will have a special private reserve. When you have 600 seedlings your bound to keep a coupleDamn thats crazy. Cant wait to see the base after 4-5 years.
I had always wondered if it would work for a woody plant. So I tried and it worked for me pretty well with a ficus, but never tried an outdoor temperate woody plant like maple.I'm pretty experienced with the dwc method of hydroponics do u think it would work for maples?
