Just wanted to show everyone the tremendous growth that these plants have had when left in the humidity chamber after leafing out.

Great looking plants, and thanks for the videos-lots of good info nuggets in there.
Keep up the strong work!

wow, unbelievable growth, great results

That's some impressive growth!

Justin - Nice work!  Cool setup!  Very healthy plants!

You obviously have this down pat.  What is your procedure for transitioning out of the fish tank?

Also, do you use full strength Aqua Vega?  How often do you use it?

Awesome results! Maybe I should try this in my empty 120 gallon aquarium.

Great Work Justin, Loved the video clip. You have a lot of humidity there. Does the humidity go out into the room...???  Don't want you have mold issues in your home.

I transition these out by putting them in another container and removing the lid 1/4" at a time over a 1-2 week period or with a clear bag and opening it bit by bit over a 1-2 period.
The transition needs to be at minimum 1 week or you will get wilting leaves that will dry up.

My nutrient mix:

1 gallon tap water that has been bottled for 2-3 days
Canna Aqua Vega Parts A &B 10-14 ml/gallon
Microbe Life Vitamins & Aminos 6 ml/gallon
1/2 Teaspoon of Mosquito Bits /gallon 

Thanks guys, i have come a long way since last winter!

I just wanted to point out that you could never do this in a non sterile medium like potting soil with young established roots. Bacteria/fungus/gnats would take over very quickly!

Great videos, Justin.  Amazing how strong those two trees are in the first video.

Nice work and set up for sure. Always nice to see videos.

Great videos, you have a real nice setup there.

Justin - Is that 10-14 ml/gal of each part or 10-14ml/gal total?  Do you give nutrient mix with every watering?

10-14ml part A/ 1 gallon
10-14 ml part B/1 gallon
6ml micronutrients/ 1 gallon
Every Feeding

I have only flush fed them for 1 week around the 2 month mark. To flush any residual salt buildup from the nutrients.

They key is a low npk available to the plant almost continuously rather than a high npk sporadically(like a standard fert once every few weeks or months). This is a simalar effect to using a time release fertilizer, but even with time release i suspect they are not consistently released(ie rain,temperature, humidity). This is what most hydroponic systems are based on. You can learn a heck of a lot from the marijuana growing forums...those guys have it down pat!

Here's mine that have not been kept in a humidity chamber.
Tall cuttings in the front were started rooting late october and have grown 50 cm+ within 3 months, so almost 2 ft.

Those are nice can't wait till spring I got a little damage on mine outside but they are 1 year olds

I'm using a 121 Qt clear tote for a humidity chamber, it's 17 inches high, I had to go to that size to have room for any upward growth. Now, I'm thinking about turning one tote upside down over the other. That would give a chamber almost 3 foot high, cheap, and you could get a plant up to a descent size in it, especially if you prune to force density. You're growing trees like blowing up balloons. pity not to have room to take them up to production size.
