The 2 Uter containers, there- fore, contained 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 mg K, respectively. Water levels were maintained during the experiment by additions of distilled water. Solution reaction was main- tained at pH +/- All treat- ments were replicated 5 times and pots were set on the bench in a ran- domized block design. Plants were grown in a glass- house with natural daylight extended to an 18 hour photoperiod with a combination of fluorescent and incandescent lamps. The cut- tings were allowed to grow as many shoots as would break from buds. All cuttings produced at least 1 shoot and some produced as many I as 4. At 58 days after "sticking" all shoot growth (leaves and stems) was harvested, dried, weighed, and analyzed for K concentration. The original cutting with the root sys- tem was left in place, the nutrient â solutions were all brought back to original mineral concentrations and the procedure was repeated. At 49 days all new shoot growth was harvested, dried, weighed and ana- lyzed for K concentration. The entire cycle was completed a third time with the final harvest 67 days after the second harvest. Analysis for K concentration was conducted by emission spectroscopy. Values were converted to percent dry matter for ease of presentation. The relationship between K con- centration and
