Lunatic question about trees.?
OK, let’s say for a moment you want to grow a tree in a tunnel, and you have unlimited free electrical power. You have the tunnel walls completely sealed off so that you can control the climate and atmosphere, and can set up high intensity lights to provide the photo part of photosynthesis. You have unlimited desalinized water and nutrients through a hydroponic setup husky enough to support the root system of the tree.
You have 24 hour semi-tropical days, unlimited rainfall and nutrients, heightened CO2 levels and no pests whatsoever.
Question is, can you get the bastard to grow sideways so the resulting lumber will be usable? Does phototropism trump geotropism after germination?
What if you spin it on a constant basis?
Alright, assuming that the (slowly) rotating sealed cylinder has extensible support struts to attach to the growing trunk and branches to secure them in place and hold the tree as it grows, would the lack of a clear direction of gravity and the the constant supply of light from one end result in (after a few years lifespan) something reasonably like a timber tree, but grown sideways underground?
How come i keep killing house plants?
Yes i water the plant, and no, i do not over water the plant. Yes the plant gets some sun. I get tropical plants, and even bought plant food for the new plant, but he is not doing good at all.
The last plant i got was healthy, then all of a sudden he got weak, and then i noticed bugs that looked like centipeads (spelling?), where did these bugs come from?
What is the best month to enjoy tropical fruits in Honolulu, HI?
I want to visit HI this year and was wondering when would be the best (earliest) time to go when tropical fruits (ex. dragon fruits, rambutan, mangosteen, abiu, etc.) are available in Chinatown. I’m thinking mid Feb, since it will be Chinese New Year?
