This is a totally fascinating topic to me. Couple it with the fact that nitrate (and k)moves through the plant much fasterthan ca and you can understand why nitrate can have
such a horrible impact on plant health. Essentially you are forcing the plant to grow faster than the cells can properly fill in.
Limiting nitrate while getting the plant to take up organic N and getting that ca/b/si trinty working right makes life easy..
We should talk about it sometime
We look at it like si is the highway, ca is the truck and b is the fuel

Pretty sure it was you that got me thinking about it more a couple years back. That and the fact that I was starting to pay attention to some conventionally grown produce that was grown really well while the organic stuff next to it looked like shit and rotted days after you brought it home. If you don't need that much N in the soil its just a bunch of money saved on top of not putting any excess in the ground water. Win win.
Shcrews, you have a refractometer yet? Cheap on ebay/amazon if not.
You wanna see bad organic. Get some cal organic winter grown veggies. Tissue test them for nitrate levels. They would be far better off spoon feeding cano3 weekly than dumping omri certified chicken shit and then not having the microbes to cycle the N.
Nuance is not something this ****ry does with its regs
Wth...I can't say **** on this site.

So glad the plants are growing out of their little episode! And wow they are exploding! The plants and sunsets are looking awesome!! The pup is cute as hell too!
Cool the dripline is almost done, no more fire hose will be nice.
Maybe you already said it but where do you get your water?
And last question, the soil mix was just watered with straight water last year and will be this year too? So no nutrients added for two years? That's amazing. I'll have to look up this coot's mix.
Best vibes Schrews!

your posts remind me how bad my chemistry skills are lol
no i will order one.
thanks. yah i think i was overwatering, things are looking good now except a couple stragglers
Yah drip is damn near finish. will be nice, but the funny thing about that is the fire hose is great compared to the watering wand i was using for years.
its from a well
that is correct. i like the coots mix a lot and the lava rock gives it great structure for outdoor monsters
peace
So most of today i was pruning and laying dripline. only have a few more pots to do, so will be finished with that tomorrow.
Then i still need to run the mainline and connect everything, but first i have to put up the second layer of support for the plants. I got 6.5' x 3000' roll of trellis netting , it's green instead of white which is kind of cool.
The plants grew through their first layer of remesh long ago, but for logistical reasons i couldn't install the second layer of support until i finish pruning and installing dripline. Thus it will be a pain to do the second layer, because i will have to pull branches through the netting instead letting the plants take their time to grow through.
Should be able to get all those things done this weekend. I hope the drip system comes together and works ok. i have a feeling the 1.5" mainline is gonna be a pain to work with. I got a rubber mallet to pound in the barbed fittings like byf suggested, but i havent tried it yet
