    Anyone using Potassium Silicate on their plants?

    I use this. I use it mostly in my hydro stuff. Ebb & flood system, and also my cloner. Just a side note. This stuff will throw your water into a high pH. Probably around 11 or 12. You will need to adjust your water PH. My ProSilicate has the consistency of thick Drano. High pH like Drano...

    I find good deals on timers for my pumps. I have had some others, but the very cheap Christmas light timers. Not even worth posting pics. Here is my first good one I got this year. This runs my ebb & flood setup. Here are the 2 I just picked up the other day. May use this one for my...

    I just did a complete water change in the rez and sterilized it. 18 days on this rez before changing. I filled it back up with 3 gallons on RO water, 10ml of CalMag Plus, 20ml of ProSilicate, & 18ml of Clear-Rez. I pH'd the water at 5.5. I pulled out 2 bad tomato cuttings. I will replace them...

    Can I use Human Vitamins for the Plants?

    I grind Vitamin B complex. I used it in my first cloner with good success. It is water soluble.

    using coffee grinds

    I usually put them under my Avocado trees. If I don't mix them in my dogs will eat them. Then they run around high as a kite on caffeine. I have not used them on peppers yet. Just citrus fruit and such.

    Onions transplanted....

    This 25 gallon barrel of dirt I mixed up last night. I put in 5 gallons of Sunshine #4 potting soil, 5 gallons of hydroton clay pebbles, and 15 gallons of yard dirt. Mixed it all together. It drains very well. I have used this before in the 25 gal pots. To heavy for the average person to just...

    Potato Blight...

    My dad had these plants. I told him to dig them up to keep them from spreading. Does this look like potato blight? Looks like it to me. It was spreading to his tomatoes too. The roots and potatoes looked ok. Just the top sides of the plant looked bad. It was spreading to the other night...

    I was over my dad's house and he dug up some onions for me to plant. He insisted I take some home. I just finished planting them. These are in a 25 gallon bucket.

    My last rez I did the same thing. 1 minute on 2 minutes off. It works to keep the water cooler, but then I need an air stone. I have heard of guys dropping in frozen water bottles to help pull down the temp. Like I said, I'm just trying this one stock how the guys at EZ-Cloner recommend. I have...

    Here are my rose cuttings. Looking good. Another view. Just in time for Mother's Day. Basil on top rooting well all over. Basil on the bottom refusing to root. Both had same treatment, including rooting hormone. Water temp is too high. Between 85 and 90 deg F. Tomato cutting looking...

    I know that would help. But when the ambient temp outside is 90 deg F, and humidity is 12 to 16 percent, it is hard on the cuttings. If I oxygenated the water that would also help. I'm trying to do it as a stock as possible. I'm using Clear-Rez to keep bacteria at bay. When I had my previous...

    Some more roots today on the tomato cutting. Lots of roots on the Sweet Basil. We have been having brush fires here this week along with high Santa Ana winds. Very dry. In my perfect environment it is down to 16% humidity. It is usually 40%. The weather is also hot. Upper 90's in F.

    pH tester instrument, or test kit?

    I have used litmus paper. I use it as a double check. Works every time.

    Here is what my EZ-Cloner looks like this morning. Just added 18oz of Clear-Rez to the rez. Here are some pics. Sweet Basil on the bottom having little root nodes. Looks like thorns... Here on top are the rose cuttings. Looking good and bulking up. White soft root tissue.
