BeautifulSome pics Mrs. MMG took during our day today. 74 degrees and sunny. Beautiful.
This is our local kayak launch and park. The river is too high to fit under the bridges. No kayaking yet unfortunately.

White daffodil in our yard. And the fuscia blooming bean tree by the road. Managed to cut the lawn with the push mower. Back getting stronger but psiatica keeps coming back.

Dock down the dirt drive past our house. There were like 11 turtles right before she took the pic. We startled them.

Love it...miss lots of things about MI....especially this time of year.
Thanks friend. Look forward to living vicariously through you good folks at the farm until which time my health sees fit to let me get back to gardening.I really liked it here. I met mrs. Mmg in Breckenridge over a decade ago. She grew up in this town we live in. But i do miss the mountains. I had to live in new jersey 29 years before i got out there.
By the way. Welcome to my thread. I know your name but dont believe we have chatted before.

Yeah i was telling you my back went out and i had full psiatica and couldnt walk for months. I was literally crawling around on the floor trying to water plants.
After some time taking shortcuts and skipping needed work to just get through the garden suffered.
And i got stuck growing poorly. Like in a rut for the last months.
But i always keep trying. :-)
HI MIMEDS I LOVE WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR THREAD BEST REGARDS HENNING
Damn man! Truly glad you're feeling better, I know what it's like being immobile and it's awful. Keep at it, you're killing it as usual

What river ya kayaking?
Been down most bigger rivers in your neck of the woods,
Used to do a big floating trip down the pine , inter tubes and canoes tied together for 4-5 days of drinking and smoking ! In those days u just pulled up and made camp where ever ya found a good spot. Did like a week on st. Joe a couple times too.
Nice stuff ! Looking at your list of ingredients you added 1 drop of ph down....with a final ph reading at 6.2 did you really need the ph down at all? / 1 drop for me drops ph .4 - .5......wouldn't 6.6 - / 6.7 be fine without the added acid?Here is some young veg now in pro mix hp straight off the bale and fed with Dyna Grow Foliage Pro and Protect.
The recipe Im using so far is basically off their directions and working well in veg and flower.
I assume i will feed the young plants once or twice and then give water and feed mature flowers most every time at this strength.
Current nute mix:
Well water- .3 ec 7.8ph.
Protect- 2.5ml
Foliage Pro- 5ml
General Hydro Ph Down- 1ml
4 drops Microbe Lift (for gnat control)
Final readings- 1.1 ec, 6.2ph
The seedlings in red cups have not been fed yet. First week water only. Ph not adjusted for calcium up front while the lime is charging in the soil mix. I will give them half of the above recipe for week 2 or 3.

Excellent early branching and a bit faster growth so far with the pro mix and dyna grow than ocean forest and water only in veg.

I used to use that stuff all the time but after a build up in the soil & low ph (5.3) you guys helped me with I no longer use the ph down... My well water is around 7.2 - 7.3 depending on the season but my runoff in the Greenworld ( promix type) comes in at 6.6 - 6.7 but if I add nutes it only gets down to 6.4 - 6.5 rarely do I ever see my ph below 6..3 and that's only after a heavy feed.1 mil. Not one drop. And i dont know yet. I figured i would follow the directions and monitor runoff ph over time. If it slowly lowers and the plants are eating right i will try without.
But with the calcium in the well water and the silica in protect it was coming out more like 7.5 ph.
And you are right. I tried a half mil first at about 6.8 ph and everything seemed fine.
All a bit experimental still.
Yes it used to however that’s been 30 years ago for me I’m sure it’s more commercial now. I’m sure still a blast though. I’ve been on the manatee as wellCant say it will pinpoint my location too much. But i have been on the manistee and would really like to see the pine.
Michigan rivers are pretty lazy but the pine has small rapids doesnt it?
