are you introducing too much carbon? eg sugar based feeds? Sugars increase soil carbons...carbon to nitrogen determines rates of decay, too much C locks up N and slows overall mineralization which would slow growth. Carbon14 (common in sugars) has a dramatic impact on the regulation of stomata guard cells and can therefore slow transpiration via prolonged closure. You can trigger plants to do this even when environmental conditions dont request it, eg in a drought a plant might regulate itself by keeping stomata closed, helping reduce water loss from the plant to the dry air. If you have triggered ISR via inputs you are making, this might cause the plant to respond as if its under drought conditions.
The chances of this occurring as a consequence of wormcast would be zero imo

Im not havin problems. Thx for the insight tho.
All i was sayin to pops was imo u can get the benefits of ewc by makin tea instead of addin it str8 to ur soil mix and weighin it down. My plants have a much better turn around in regard to their wet/dry cycles w/o ewc in the mix. Ewc doesn't have the best drainage and therefore slows down the wet/dry cycle which is important to me. I like my plants to need to be watered as often as possible.

J never suggested that adding castings wud make the stmata close. Im sayin ull be able to water more often w/o castings in the soil mix

Oh OK....why would you want to add more water in to a soil media? Less clay would be better to improve drainage. EWC contains valuable microbes which are crucial to getting from organic to inorganic and so plant ready. The same microbes help to better regulate water to air ratios since most are motile and so move the media, preventing compaction etc so improving drainage and releasing free Oxygen in to the root zone.

Right. U can do all that w/o adding castings to ur mix by simply brewing tea instead.....i dont know wtf ur talkin bout clay? Aint no clay jn roots organics 707 hahha

The ideal steak is a matter of taste, but proper cooking involves balancing a high external temperature with a lower internal temperature. Getting the balance right ensures that the steak is tender and juicy on the inside, and browned and flavorful on the outside.Pathogens can't penetrate the internal muscle tissue of a steak, so cooking it rare is low-risk, Chapman told Live Science. That's true unless the steak has been needle- or blade-tenderized, methods that involve puncturing the steak to break up toughness. In those cases, pathogens from the outside of the steak can end up inside. Meat plants are required to label needle- and blade-tenderized meat if they're federally inspected, but not if they're state-inspected or if the tenderizing is done at a grocery store. For that reason, the U.S. Department of agriculture recommends cooking steak to an internal temperature of 145 F (63 C).

the beauty of being a human, is many of us can learn how to cook a good steak, and after this it becomes a matter of habit rather than the conscious balance of the right temp for the right time. However, knowing the details, makes the experience more total imo. Its not like you have to think about the minutes and chemistry with every steakawemakea, but knowing the reasons behind a good steak allow more consistency
