Bingo we have a winner! Not winner, winner chicken dinner either.
Is that similar to diatomaceous earth?
do a quick ec if your runoff water .90 % of leaf issues from salt buildup in medium. the ec should be not more than 50% higher than feed ECHello guys ,Im growing under a 180W led light ,plants are 45 days old .In some point i introduced some strawberry plants and some herbs to the indoor garden to fight off the smells but a week after i watered all of the plants i saw flying bugs in the enviroment. ? was thinking that they are just some regular small flies but after a small period of time my kids started to get droopy and overwatering or underwatering wasnt the issue.I ve never encounter any bug issue so im completely clueless of whats going on.Any help or advise would be very appreciated.Thank you for instance!
The first photo is a taken 17/11 ,the second one 24/11.the third 25/11 where at this point the plant to the right started to recover a bit considering that the leaves stood a bit upwards.The plant to the left got a pale green colour and the one in the center is somewhere in the middle.
Isn't that mesh at the bottom of the pot moveable?
You're smoking too much dope!
I know good buddy
Nope! ICMag isn't my only source of info. I simply share what I have learned or the years but, I do know how to separate the chaff from the wheat!
Today i searched for spinosad at the local stores and the only one that had ,it was selling it for 45 euro.Neem oil is something i should order cause we dont have here where i live.Also which are the thrips from the photos i uploaded? THanks!!!
? thought going bio i shoudnt be concern about ec or ph.
they got wings and they fly.They are a bit deformed from the cause of death
I prefer cloth pots too ,they have many advantages ,u can manage better the overwatering or bottom feed etc...Isn't that mesh at the bottom of the pot moveable?
I use cloth pots. A lot of folks don't like them but, IMHO are they better than them smart pots HANDS DOWN. Most don't like them because they leak from the sides = they don't know HOW to water.
My 3gal cloth pots (only a few inches, read insignificant to the volume of a 5gal pot) get exactly 1.5l every three days. On every other watering they get fed. I grow in Promix. I was told by the local shop here, start there and move on. This is the SIMPLEST wtg. IT works and I have never looked back.
I go by pot weight, verified with a moisture meter when in doubt. Occasionally I'll get a pot that is heavier than the other with a similar canopy. I check with the moisture meter, and will drop her to 1.25l and see how she does. It normally comes back into line. Some times they don't. They dried out faster than I thought so, I once again go back to 1.5l/watering. BTW, if you shove your moisture meter right down to the bottom of the pot, you will get a false reading , because the last 1/8 of any given pot is the saturation zone. Your roots aren't there. How do you find out where your roots are at in relation to the pot? Good question!
In a conventional plastic pot, your roots are at the bottom of the pot, in the sodden zone. The are not happy there. No oxygen!!! So they circle the pot and if root bound you can actually see them circling but constantly going up from that zone, trying to breath. They will settle there, because there needs are met.
Those are the roots e.g veins... it is the capillary roots that actually do the drinking and feeding or, what is know as the fine feeder roots. Every time a root hits the side of a cloth pot, the tip dies, similar to pruning, causing back budding from the root into the fine feeder roots, that sustain the plant.
How do I know this? Well for one thing I do a post mortem at the end of every run. My pot is full of hairs = a good thing (think a coconut mat). There are roots there as well but, very few compared to growing in std pots. I simply applied lessons learned in Bonsai to what I am doing know. Can you fathom a tree growing in a 1 to 2 inch growing medium? BTW, you can grow anything in chards of glass, providing you meet the plants growing needs (hydro would be a good example).
When you are thirsty you have a glass of water, and you are satisfied, until you become thirsty again. Bonsai just like our girls aren't on a IV, they only uptake as necessary and, they (just like you) don't like wet tootsies = trench foot. The object in Bonsai is water every 24hrs, and if you cant do that, modify your medium so it is capable of doing so.
I understand why some of the information isn't forthcoming on the subject. However, the movement are doing themselves a disfavour (IMHO) holding their card to their chest and, expecting deregulation in the process!
It is a frigging weed/plant. It ain't voodoo. That being said... I do respect trade secrets but, not simple botany!
Yup!
