That's not good sea maiden. I've heard gnatrol works well. Have you tried compost tea for the fg? I've read some things but never tried.
The problem is that it further develops fungal hyphae--what the larvae, I assume, are feeding on.
I got back from Puerto Rico Wednesday evening, checked things out yesterday morning. The little fucks took some more seedlings but it's far better than before. Maybe I should have had my husband do an application or two, but it rained in between and he had his hands full as it was anyway. If they're dried out today (unlikely, I think we had some sprinkles last night) then I'll do another heavy treatment.
@Seamaiden You know I got your back if you need extra seed starts right? Should have a fair amount extra if I get 50-50 male/female ratio.
Thank you! If I get a 1:1 ratio, I
should be good, I hope. :)
I like to use Pure Protein Dry the day before the Cal25. They just BLOW UP after the combo. Nice looking plants, healthy ladies.
What's Pure Protein? Anything like aminos? (I have a bag of aminos stashed somewhere, and I also have a lot of Ca25, didn't really use it last year.)
Today I fed with the above alfalfa mixture Which has fish so that is promising.
On a side note: I've noticed when I feed the alfalfa soak (2-3 week soak)I get the leaf curl around the edges indicating a MG def. I think it the alfalfa is pushing the plant hard without enough Epsom salt.
Anyone else get this?
Never, and I am in agreement with JF, it's to do with transpiration, not nutrients, and not Mg. However, what I see generally in hot plants is canoeing downward, not the rhododendron-like upward cupping (rhodies cup upward when it's cold, to conserve moisture). Remember that Mg is highly, HIGHLY mobile, too, and a really easy tell as to whether or not it's involved is to give a foliar using 1/4tsp/gal water. If you see any changes they should be notable and quick, like in hours to a day.
Also, keep in mind that MgSO4 actually provides more S than it does Mg. ;)
