Water ~

As my area goes thru the worst multi year drought and record heat in all of recording history, I feel yo' pain. The only thing you can do to help the situation now is mulch, hand carry water to the site and pray for rain. As a city boy turned farmer I can give a bit of advice, as growing anything CAN be an emotionally devastating thing -

1. if you can't handle losses then don't get involved,

2. If you're one that must always be in control, then don't get involved. It doesn't matter what you do, mama nature is gonna kick your ass every which way but Sunday......then there's the cops, thieves, pests, etc.

Of course you can do what the boyz south of Corsicana did and put in an elaborate irrigation system for 10,000 plants. Problem is those boyz are going to jail.

Hey Uncle

Can underwatering using a soilless mixture in a hydro drip system cause salt buildup and then Nute Lock Out?


COLOR="Green"]George W. (and by the way in my parts George W. is another name for weed not any political affiliation on my part I dont believe in a goverment that has no room for weed in their agenda)[/COLOR]

the first pic, looks like the plant is too big 4 the pot!!! i had the same problem untill i realized how but the roots actually get! try transplanting it into a bigger pot with fresh potting compost it worked wounders for mine

start off with good soil and quality seed. by getting good soil and you can do away with grow nutrient just use bloom when you flower them. that way you wont have a build up of chemicals also can i mention that if you want good free soil look for a patch of stinging nettles put the weeds out and grab some soil stinging nettles puduce nitrogen crystals in the ground i seen some fantastic results

As the soil moisture is reduced the salts ppm rises. It's all relative.

Im not too sure whats going on with my plant, but in the pictures you can see the yellowing, but it seems to go away when the leaf matures?
Lil help? I made this thread but no one really responded! Thanks
Unsure of the time period?

Thank you, very informative for my problems.

Hey all,
I'm wondering instead of diluted molasses for carbs, I would give my girls rasinwater. It's just 8 oz of purified water that has 2 small boxes of rasins that has been soaking in it.

Moisture - 20.2% Calcium - 87 mg Protein - 1.8% Phosphorus - 80 mg Fat - 0.3% Iron - 7.7 mg Minerals - 2.0% Vitamin C - 1 mg Carbohydrates - 74.6% Small amount of Vitamin B Complex Fibre - 1.1% * Value per 100 gm's edible portion Calorific Value - 308

This might also be a nice way to back down the acidity off soil or grow medium as raisins are naturally alkaline.
Any thoughts?

Wher can i find mulch n also wat else may i be able to add to hold moisture or any other waterin methods, like i heard bout someting called aqua pots

? n e one got n e ideas? Plz
