The growing large plants, outdoors, thread...

[Yes4Prop215]

WOW! That's some watering! I'm waaay under watering my ladies...

If you don't mind me asking...Yes4Prop215 when you are "just watering" do you give it right out of the spigot and give em plain non pH'd water? I couldn't imagine adding macro/micro nutes using that much water everytime, I'd think it'd break the bank!

all my water gets stored in 6000 gallon tanks first on float valves that fill automatically, they are plumbed into multiple 550s on float valves for feeding including a specific one for mixing the nasty stuff. i use zero chem ferts, zero bottled nutes. they get teas filled with a bunch of stuff once every week or so…but mostly its just plain water and my well produces right in the mid 6s so its good to go.

it was overcast so i went light on them today, always depends on the weather. as soon as its hits 100s i might be laying up to 60 per mound.

quick interruption for help, please

quick interruption for help, please

Rust or Severe Calcium Deficiency?

I got a plant in my flower room that looks outrageous.

Was hoping ot get some opinions on the matter from others to help me decide if I should keep it or toss it.

Pardon the interruption!

Wut id do for dreambig's greenhouse. That setup is ganna be bonkers later

I thought I would be able to pm and or leave visitor messages when I hit 50 post but I can or atleast I haven't figured out how to so if you see this message I growmyown the material I used for the greenhouse was solarsoft 85 panels for the roof and about halfway down the sides, then I used clear super strong woven poly for the bottom half of the sides. I also put up wire on the bottom half to keep most of the critters out. I've got two vents, 2 sides that roll up, and 2 exhaust fans. When it's 95 outside I'm hittin 105-110 inside if there's no breeze.

Love the diffusion of the Dynaglas Solarsoft. Great material.

Sounds like a great setup.

I'm starting out with 10-20g per day and I'll see how that goes. I'm not as fortunate to have water that's in the 6's, as mines typically 6.9-7.1, and typically on the higher end! Such is life...

No tree climbin' by me either. LOL

August is when the plants should start flowering, so if I could give some advice it would be transplant now into a larger pot. The largest pot you can afford. Fill it with good soil and enjoy the ride. Good luck.

thats a cool looking garden! welcome to the thread...

modesto- 30 gal is way to small transplant that into a 100 gal and watch your yield triple..

How long does it take to deliver that much water? Constant soaking?

1 to 2 hours I do all inline emitter tube...some beds have 35 ft some mounds have 65 the trenches ... Have the appropriate number of length and runs to evenly saturate them..they're all different sizes

I also have 8 5x50 rows of veggies that is on drip line as well...

No pressure loop they all start and stop at the same time.

In the 95-107 degree wave we've been having with less than ten percent rH , the more minerals and water you give them and more foliar the more they will grow, if it cools I water less and foliar more, even with just plain...from the end of the wand...make it rain right prop?

I heard from a good source that the exploding product issue has been solved. I've got 5 gallons of rejuvenate coming to me, to make sure.

 

[milkyjoe]

I have 5 gallons arriving tomorrow. We will see what we see

 

[Backyard Farmer]

I don't know if some distributors have stock on shelf with the ingredient that is suspected to be the cause of the majority of the off gassing ... Which results in a bottle bomb.

I am going to try to find out , it may take a few days to get an answer...

Some very interesting things are cooking

How much benefit does a fogger have over a sprayer? Are they all 120v or do they have gas models? Thanks.

Ya I was wondering the same thing. Also does anybody have any good experiences or one they would recommend with the the pull along rechargeable battery models in the 5-10 gallon range? Last year I tried the master Gardner 12v 9 gallon model and I didn't even get to use it once due to the battery not charging. I've done some looking around on the web and I haven't found one that people are consistently happy with it.

I like my flash turbo spray gun and north star pump....video of how it works on instagram

 

[Dreambig]

What's the name of the video under? I'm guessing that's a bit too big for my setup. I remember you saying you put on your ATv or something. I don't have an ATv or the room for one.

Foggers...well good ones are expensive. There are tremendous benefits of a fogger over a sprayer. It's all due to the ability to reduce the particle size measured in microns. Smaller microns more effective. That also equates to a savings on foliar stuff. Gas models are the best way to go...IMO due to the limitations of a 120v being attached to a cord and the fact you need power. I've been recommended by a friend to get the Hudson 99598 Electric 120v unit around $200. (I think Root Lowell bought em out though). If your budgets tight then go with a pump backpack sprayer with multiple nozzle heads, it'll get the job done.
