I would like to see a comparison grow.
All else equal.

If the oxygen is the source of the increase as you say, then stands to reason that pure oxygen pumped to the root zone would be better than the about 20% oxygen of ambient atmosphere.
you say oxygen introduced to the roots causes the plant to use more nutrients and increase its rate of growth and productivity.
Nitrous oxide introduced into an internal combustion engine that is functioning properly will allow the engine to use more fuel increasing the torque and horsepower.
So, the comparison

Well that’s easy too! Get you your own and let me know how you do I know how good I’m doing!

I'm not advocating the use of air domes then suggesting other buy and try it themselves like some carnival barker.
Show me the proof
You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about the plants will only take so much oxygen and when they are sitting in a tray of water without oxygen they tend to get a little bit of root rot and everything when you put the oxygen or air with enough oxygen in it they grow at a much higher rate! Why do you think Hydro is faster and bigger most of the time?
Why would you think that is???????

So the airdome is not supplying oxygen, it is drying the moisture from within the rootzone?
You have
no it’s supplying oxygen just like a hydro system keeping fresh oxygenated water to the root ball so it can take in more nutes and grow at a higher rate
Just like a person you can give them oxygen but that doesn’t mean they are going to be able to take more and more but it will give them optimal amount to live when given what you need to make your body work as good as it possibly can!!!

Tag me in the grow journal when you do the comparison.
Would like to see the results.
If the autopot is set up proper without airdome there should not be rootrot issues.
If the system causes rootrot when used without airdome, seems airdome would be part of the system

You must not be to much up on what’s going on because they have started selling them together now!!!lol
Actually they are buying them out or partnering up or whatever! But now they are showing them together in ads and everything

Yeah, I'm not up on what's going on.
No disagreement there.

Why
Why do you think they have air domes? When did they start coming out? They were designed for the auto pot system! That’s why they were made!
If they didn’t have auto pots there wouldn’t be any air domes because I have been using a home version of this for years what we always did was put air stones on the bottom of the pots with clay pellets and then put a tray on them and just put water in them several times a day and it worked great but it was time consuming and you can’t be with them all the time! This works way better
Yep I like the way you did that it would work good i would say!!?DIY air domes!!!

I'm not a big fan of them tbh but yes they do create a space in the root ball that you can pump air into.
