Turn 51 tomorrow, but I refused to get a job until the divorce was final!
I would avoid molasses it attracts pests and really honestly has no benefits for plants, however milk on the other hand if you ferment it and break it down it makes a good compost or fertilizer for soil, also helping more acidic stuff break down easier.
Happy early birthday
Milk has good enzymes and whatnot, but I think you may be mistaken about molasses, at least from the benefit standpoint. I can see how it would attract bugs, but the guy diluted it massively. Basically a 3-5% tea
Might be season 2 episode 5 “Going Legit” but all of season 1 episodes aren’t on my on demand. Someone in the “Mornin” thread mentioned “guerilla growers”,
I agree with the milk but stand by my opinion of molasses, however we are entitled to our opinions that’s what makes us grow in our own unique way
I stand corrected - He uses milk, and cayenne pepper to keep pests away.
I saw the molasses thing elsewhere.
It’s better to do cuttings in a separate station cause they don’t need wind
So I found a hydroponics store downtown! Closed Sunday
I am going to the home depot (lowes here has jack) and see about some “oyster shell” or some other calcium boost. Might get lucky.
If not, is there anything I can do with some eggshells (other than grinding them fine) to make some sort of tea or booster for them?
Oh, for @Majiktoker - Saw a few places that LED’s also lack the proper spectrum for good Ca absorption, so I added a CFL (100W “Daylight”) at a good distance so it didn’t generate heat.
OK, so here is what I found. It was 4.99, so worth a shot.
What next? I am thinking some kind of massively diluted tea, but want advice!
To be honest, Wally world was the only thing open last night, pitiful garden section, but I was actually eyeballing the vitamin section… Thoughts?
Seriously, what made me ask is because there was magnesium, zinc, copper… lots of emergency fixes if they are viable.
I know how hard it is to grow on a budget. I’m trying to convert my bathroom into a dry room before all the rain rots my girls. But I will do some research online on breaks to try to help. Hopefully some experienced folks will pop in here shortly
I’m hesitant to tag them, since I haven’t bought anything…
Me neither but go ahead and tag. Not everyone here has bought all their seeds etc from here
Yeah, there is no requirements to buy anything from anyone @Whodat66
ILGM sponsors the site and it would be great to consider them for any future purchases, but no one is under any obligation!
So without reading a bunch are you wanting to use that lime to raise the ph of your soil?
No. If you look at the pics, there is a calcium problem. I have soaked the pot, to try and bring out all the nutrients in the super soil (there is dolomite lime in there) but I want to give her a boost before it becomes problem.
It is much more obvious under LED, but under regular light she’s really not that bat.
I could also pull out the guitar and serenade her if it would help
