How do I maintain the floating plant illusion in a 2L DWC grow bag?
just noticed my lettuce leaves bobbing in the nutrient film, like they're defying gravity tbh it's a tiny illusion that reminds me of a stage trick in a small kitchen setup
i've been using a DWC setup with a 2l grow bag, pH 6.2, EC 1.8, LED 400nm, co2 enrichment at 800ppm
the way the water level stays steady while the plants seem to float feels like a magician's sleight of hand, a subtle shift of expectation
i think this is the essence of magic in hydroponics: manipulating perception with physics and chemistry
does anyone else feel that the floating plant is a metaphor for how we create illusion in everyday life? maybe it's just a reminder that reality is a set of variables we can tweak
any tips on maintaining that illusion longer? or any philosophical take on how this relates to illusion and reality? lol
