last but first given by youngest…been in kitchen window for 2+ yrs…don’t know variety..but pinkish flowers..last over month.. same cup… guess better transplant… View attachment 19090499

I've taken a liking to orchids. I changed fertilizers last year and will be going back to the original one, I was using. The newer fertilizer with higher N gave me more leaves and less blooms, both were orchid fertilizer. Now that I have 2 orchids, I can up pot against each other.
My last flowers lasted about 6 months, they seem to last that long always. The newer orchid, I don't know but will find out.

This is my last week to get my crop organized. Good thing I kept a journal as I have not mixed a batch in years, always used Fox Farm OF, no more cant get it. Now I have to mix my peat, perlite and compost together and add fertilizer & dolomite. My Mrs. will keep an eye on me and double check my math and that I'm adding what I'm suppose to be adding. My brain gets confused easily these days, I don't like it.

Question: how deep do you plant your seeds and do you face your seeds in a specific direction?

The same people who are pro vaccine mandate,social distancing,masking and shutdowns are campaigning on my body my choice without a hint of self awareness.
A "news outlet" not endorsing a political candidate is a issue for the same people claiming to be saving democracy........ the people who subverted their own party rules to get where they are are running on being tough on crime while defunding the police.
Abortion is now "reproductive freedom" somehowfor who exactly?

we germinate our seeds and plant them tails down about 1/2” to an inch deep…

we also fill our 16 oz beer cups 1/2 full so when the plant comes up and grows just above the rim of the cup , we add more soil to help stabilize the plant…

all the best Amigo!

Hi @Putembk do you put anything fancy in your teas?

OG BioWar, molasses, alfalfa meal and worm castings

 

[Putembk]

Taking a break from the scissors to walk. Will finish trimming when I get back.

Hi OM,

I have an old bamboo chop stick that I drew a ring around the point about an inch from the end. My handy dibber!
I dib up to the inch line and pop a bean in the mud, then drag a bit over to cover the hole.

Good luck with the sprouting!

You don't face the seed in any particular direction just put it in the soil about1' deep. At one time they use to suggest putting the planted ungerminated seed in a certain direction, like pointed end up.

Hi Sub, glad that critter and I don't share the same neighborhood. YIKES!

Thanks Pute,

I'm going to try top dressing and teas through flower of my latest lot and I remembered you making tea one time.

I've just flipped them and they're stretching like they're off to the mooon!

I have some bat guano powder and worm "compost", a compost mix which is used to breed worms and then they're sieved out and you get a worm compost. (apparently) and some living soil amendment. (https://ecothrive.co.uk/products/life-cycle).

If you ever needed to get rid of a body, there you go, one moment your here, the next moment your gone forever.

No OM, I just let them roll into the hole, I think they would mostly be lying on their sides that way.

If I do germ in tissue in a ziplock baggie and in a dvd case standing upright next to the router.... (that's so they know which way is up and which way is down) then I know which way up to pot them.

But straight in soil, I've never worried about direction. I just like them to be germinating between 25 and 30 *C is the only rule I have for myself.

I think the fellow "farmerlion" does feeding with teas, he has some info in the greenhouse section.

Peanut butter cookies I'm guessing, with a good looking bake!

Got your bunny fence up.

Alas, I just got notice of another friend's celebration of life next weekend. She was 96 but has been blind from macular degeneration for the last decade.
