Good morning Homer and Merry Christmas! I hope you and yours have a wonderful day! Be well!
Merry Christmas to you and yours Homer!
They look like they have a ways to go yet. Plenty of time to bulk up. The brown spots appear to be calcium deficiency. Make sure your ph is around 6.0-6.2 and they will take up what they need.
Hiya Homer...I do have a pH meter and I have been trying to keep between 6.0 and 6.5 pH but the darn thing is pretty cheap and the reading bounces around a bit so I might not be where I think I am so I might as well pick up a better one to make sure I am in the 6.0 to 6.2 range.
Yes they still have a long ways to go, no worries.
Hiya Homer...
are you calibrating your pen regularly? Almost all pens on the low end price scale need calibrating. I do mine each feeding. It can be .1 out one day and that could be .2 out the next day. Always keep checking the calibration. I'm sure the meter will read OK, but get yourself some buffer solutions, pH 7.0 and pH 4.0 work well for both sides of the spectrum. I switch 'em around.
Ya I use the liquid, only because it's convenient, but I hear you can make a batch from the powder and store it in a dark cool location and it will keep. If it doesn't come with one ask the boys and girls there at the shop and I'm sure they have one kicking around.
Well since you are spending the money on a good pen, you want to treat it right. Storing in distilled water is a no-no. Always store it in a buffer solution if possible. My cap has a sponge in it, so I rinse it with distilled then dip it in buffer solution. The sponge keeps it moist when the cap is closed.
My understanding is they get finicky if they continue to dry out. I dunno for sure but it's working for me.
No I never purchased those...when they go amazon canada then I'll most likely grab it. I do use their kelp extract through veg stage which allows the roots to absorb the nutrients better, amongst other things.
Well definately don't feel bad about it. It's not really a neccessity if you maintain a good pH, a good growing medium, good root growth through proper watering and pots and the rest takes care of itself. I wouldn't go out and buy some right away, lets put it that way.That is so classic I can only laugh because here I am a day late and a dollar short again, LOL. I was thinking of buying the kelp extract but I decided on just the other two and here I am having a problem with nute absorption. I think it is more funny than frustrating. Hopefully correcting my pH with take care of it.
