2025 outdoor grows! Let’s see em!

[70sguerrilla]

Not expecting anyone to remember, but this is my durban poison I mentioned is getting more shade from a tree than I anticipated before planting. Still focused on trying to learn something from the experience. It seems pretty obvious to me that my sunny side looks far better than the sometimes shaded side. I did remove some of the weaker growth that was getting no sun at all as suggested by a user here, and that's when the front started looking a lot better.

Here's what I've been doing for a few days now. I have checked my PH routinely at different moisture %'s and at around 25-40% range it's showing mid 7's. So I'm adjusting the water to low 6's and holding off on nutrients. Is this a proper course of action given the way it looks?

Is it worth going forward, or will the imbalance in the plant cause problems later? The close up pic I shared hoping someone might know what's causing. Perhaps just not enough sun?

I've named her Hope.

This looks like a classic magnesium deficiency.

The video shows F1 varieties from Tuesday.

The pictures are from the maintenance corner of the camping area where I sowed old accidentally produced seed in the spring.

The two-week heat wave has killed almost everything that was sown directly in the ground/toilet containers and left untreated.

Plant in the video looks good! Plant in the third picture down looks pretty masculine! Be careful!

This looks like a classic magnesium deficiency.

Thanks. That was my guess too, and it's been doing this for a while despite my efforts to correct. I have tried putting epsom salt in the water a few times. Is it possible it's not taking the nutrients due to high PH? Should I pursue a more effective method for correcting magnesium deficiency?

I give Epsom salt as a foliar feed 3.5g/l of water once a week

Damage control report?

I spiral wrap the branches of the plants during high winds, so they move as one. I found I get less broken branches. Then when threatening weather is over, I’ll unwrap them. No real damage through the night. The large tomato vine took the worst of it except for the blueberry pancake that split in yesterday’s winds.

I needed to get rid of the old seeds and that place seemed like a suitable place for sacrifice.

Happy Friday!!

All happy for now.

Pictures are a little blurry!

Pics are a little blurry! But you don’t want that buck knocking up the looker in the video!

My girls are safe in the wilderness, far from people.

The sacrificial site is in the camping area behind the maintenance buildings, otherwise it seems to have been poorly maintained.

A few pictures of the girls when I went to take care of them on Tuesday.

BTW: Day length today 17h 45min.

Looking good! In my garden, anything with pink pistols automatically gets elevated to queen of the garden! Lol! Keep up the good work!

Weekend vibes from ze farm, cheers!
Clear/cloudy on my autos, it's almost that time

I assume that discolour on Scotty's plant is inside - out like starts on the inside? My first thought is Phosphorus. Lock outs are what I'd consider, I have a chart somewhere that shows connections between all the different nutrients, which ones override others and prevent flow of others I'll find it.

"The Mulder’s Chart shows how elements interact. The dotted lines show which elements enhance each other. The solid lines show which elements antagonize each other. For example, calcium can cause a magnesium deficiency, while nitrogen can solve this deficiency. So adding extra magnesium isn’t necessary"

I think it looks like it just quit eating! Unhappy root zone! Starting to eat itself! Two cents! A lot like when you leave a plant in a solo way too long and it exhaust all the nutrition in the soil and starts to starve!

I posted this in the “infirmary” thread. It helped me understand, in an easy flow chart kinda way, how to help me diagnose my own screw ups.

So I'm adjusting the water to low 6's and holding off on nutrients. Is this a proper course of action given the way it looks?

You’re not going to change the soil pH with water. Soil naturally resist change (buffering) to its pH level and will fairly quickly restore the pH before your water is absorbed or evaporates. Even with really low pH levels in your water you won’t affect the soil much, if at all. Not talking battery acid here, but using 6 H2O won’t so diddly.
