[@noob19087]

Always a good idea to plant your plants in prewatered soil. I've found that it can take a while for the soil to get evenly wet, and my plants tend not to do as well if planted in dry soil and only then watered. I guess the roots don't like it. A lot like how a bowl of cereal takes a while until it gets soggy.

[@TonysExploration]

Soak from bottom if really very very dry soil..U get evenly distributed

another better method will be the ANAA pills aka Alpha Naphthyl Acetic Acid, is a synthetic plant hormone . you need these to have a farm the uniformly bear fruits , so you could harvest and market at same time. After you put in the pills at the center crown mature plant , it will induce flower in 2 months time

You can use Cinnamon as a root enhancer. cinnamon is safe for plant, safe for soil ( has even some benefice) and act as a root booster. try it! pour cinnamon directly on where root will grow or already grow and you'll see a result faster. maybe 6 days instead of 12 days for exemple.

Isn't commercial calcium carbide quite toxic?

[@TonysExploration]

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(aq) → C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2(aq) End up is just acetylene gas and calcium hydroxide. Not those super toxicity. A normal chemical compound.

do budding happens without induce it

[@TonysExploration]

Yes, but will drag longer

[@rogerjackway429]

wow wow wow wait... I may need a crayon and coloring book explanation on why we want to make acetylene to make it flower.

[@TonysExploration]

Well, there are few ways to induce flowering, this is just one of the method, and I experiment it....it works. The acetylene molecule is the same shape and almost the same size as the ethylene molecule, and so is able to mimic that natural plant hormone

@@TonysExploration I didn't even think about that. alright so I'll save some aside for when mine hits the age to flower. the rest is going twards the 4th
