    nutrient deficient?

    Here are some images of my young Red Paper Lanterns, what does the darker color within the leaves indicate?   Are the plants deficient in a particular nutrient?

    Is now a good time to transfer?  I will be transferring to larger pots, not outside.   Can I use a Happy Frog with these young of plants or should I stay away from feeding them at this point?   They will remain indoors under lights and fans.   My main question is what type of soil can be used? ...

    tutorial Making some puree today...will post pics of the process....it's easy....

        Do you have another term for the crimp top beer cap?  I tried googling it, but I'm not certain what cap you're referring to.   I think I found some woozy bottles for thicker sauces and I like your idea of having the swing top available after it's been opened for the first time.   Here are...

    tutorial Making some puree today...will post pics of the process....it's easy....

    How is the purée "cut" or thinned?  Is the cook time altered or the temp or is there an ingredient in the recipe that can be used more or less of?

    tutorial Making some puree today...will post pics of the process....it's easy....

    Can these bottles be used for the recipe from page 1 of this post or is this purée recipe too thick that would require a jar instead of a swing top type bottle?

    Are 9 plants too many?

    Thanks Geonerd, you are spot on about the ones in the middle not getting enough available light, it is evident that they are not in the same physical standards as the others.  I may plant on in each corner next year with one in the middle.   I will let this year run its course and decide after...

    sub irrigated beds

    These are a couple 3'x4'x18" raised subirrigated beds and I'm looking for suggestions on what to use in them.  My lack of forethought on how much cubic feet this is, it will take quite a bit of Happy Frog and/or Ocean Forest to fill these and quite a bit of $$ too.   Any suggestions on a less...
