Organic Growing: An Introductory Guide

[Rasta Roy]

I can attest to some mag deficiency with the mix I have going, I have been correcting with some epsom salt in the feedings. I am now very curious about this Langeinite, maybe when I recycle the soil I can add some

Mag deficiency is super common in container gardening! The langbeinite definitely seems to help!

Your soil should stop giving off heat in two to three weeks at the most. When it stops giving off that heat you should be good to transplant. But four to six inches in height is a good standard.

I planted during that time is was giving heat and it might have been rough on them. I had not ime to cook it in this time though.
Running 5 or 6 strains right now and one strain(DOG) is showing an issue. Maybe cal or Mg.
Thy all have same soil. rust spots on a few leaves

Not seeing it abundantly I would bet it might be more of an uptake issue than an actual deficiency. Watering with kelp teas could help things clear up! I wouldnt worry if you have a spot on a leaf here and there as long as your overall canopy is healthy.

Looks like 5-6 leaves.
A week ago I only saw maybe 2
Ill see what I can do about a tea, pets in the house try to jump n it or drink from it.
Not a lot of space to do that sort of thing here.

You dont have to brew it for long...

I have a Siamese cat mix thats a super handful!
She plays fetch and does other dog things also.
She will dive right into a bucket of water the toilet the shower. She loves water!!
As soon as I open the tent she is there. She will wake up from her sleep if I turn on the shower, or fill the dogs water bowl.
Energy like a Jack Russell.

So kelp meal and what else, some Mykos?

I would just go kelp, aloe, water maybe a teaspoon of molasses or maybe without for this one

I dont have aloe.
Is there a certain kind to use?

Fresh!

If you're unable to do teas I would do a top dressing of some kelp and some castings too if you got em.

Bass I know you are strapped for room but you should keep an aloe plant or 10 around lol. They are worth their weight and almost zero maintenance

Are bagged castings ok?
I have some but the bag is old. Do they lose quality if they dry out?

Do they need a lot of light?
I could out one on kitchen counter or dining table.

They would be fine I think. Few of mine are off in the shade

Prolly be OK. But I think they probably degrade over time

Ok ill get some. You tear pieces of and use it and it just regenerates I guess.
They are like cactus and dont like a lot of water?

Wasnt sure if they dried out that meant biological activity dies

They lose a little fresh microbiology but they're still usable.

Some dies but some stays dormant and awakens.

Utilize the meat in the leaves. Yes they regenerate and they are not partial either way but they don't require a lot as they store a lot in their leavea

Ok Ill top dress tomorrow and look to get more some plants.
