if you have any comfrey it take care of it,humic fulvic drench will too,take a plug of that soil and test it,cheap on amazon 14 bucks,ph test it and then you will know were to go with it,EM1 is the best other than OHN
Top half of the original pot, sends the roots deeper, then i pull it up later. Just my way.
PH is a nick below 7, maybe 6.7
thats what i figured,i did that to my squash plants this year,damn squash vine boer worm has been kicking my ass for last 3 years,this worked not only to keep the wasp from stinging the base at soil level,but the stalks were like vines you could swing on when i took cups off,i just cut the cup away worked great
thats ideal ph,comfrey bro,i swear by it,has just about every thing the plant needs and can be a stand alone feed,if you mix the stinging nettle in with it,steroids hahaha,you have to ferment them seperate though,once fermented you can put them together,honestly though i dont think putting in the soil will help you,the roots are alread balled up in the bucket,only feeders would expand and that might hurt ya come yield,it take couple weeks to get over the stress,probally wrong just my opinion,ive grown them in 5 gal homer buckets and just about same height,only issue i had was what you have already done,putting the foil around the buckets,that sun fry there ass,if its as hot as it been here maybe light watering 3 times a day to keep um cool
Yeah, that layer of carpet around the bucket makes a big difference with heat, especially when wet.
Well don’t forget to patent my cooling carpet sleeve too
I cut mine lengthwise and then tape it back together, in order to make transplant quicker/safer. I like that idea too.
