Sorry i haven't posted in awhile, been busy and now my 13yr old has Chicken Pox......


We've moved so my set up is a bit here and there. I moved my plants into my drip system and temp. put them in the garage. I take them outside every day so they can suck up that natural sunlight. Once it goes down i put them under the light in the garage. I know it's not the best but what i have going on....

T'Mater
It's really hard to tell much from the pictures because the details are quite blurry. Though I have a few questions.

1. Are the symptoms only on a few leaves, or quite a lot of them?
2. Is there anything powdery or unusual on the leaves, especially underneath.
3. Are you sure you don't have any pests like leaf-miners, thrips, spider mites, aphids etc.?

Well it's the first few leaves, pretty sure i don't have any bugs. I think tho. it's a sign of leaf rot. Just like last year i didn't pay much attention to the humidity. And after i posted i really searched the web to see if i could find out why this is doing it for the 2nd year in a row.

Thinking i was doing good i let them get big in a 6" dome. Basically my plant's were in a mini green house. But like i mentioned i didn't pay attention to the humidity. Going to spray them with an anti fungal spray i have and see if that helps.

What i noticed is the ends of the leave's were getting a blue/blackish color then starting to die. I"ll keep you all informed. Worse case scenario i might redo my seeds. This time paying special attention and see how it works out. Right now i'm moving them outside so they can get as much natural sunlight as they can.

Sorry i haven't posted in awhile. School being just about out we've been having to deal with my son on his last quarter in the 7th grade, and him missing a bunch of day's due to the chicken pox. Now that school is all but out i've got more time to mess with the forumn's and post pic's and such.

Atm i've been hand feeding my plants, surprisingly they're doing awesome!!! Getting flower's already and i'm really enjoying the Maxi serious stuff. Instead of it being a recirculating system i guess it's a run off. That's getting ready to change tho.

I know i've asked this before, but for the fricken likes of me i can't find out where everyone answered my ? so i'll just ask it again.

I got a new timer for my pump and i can't remember how often to really feed my mater plants??

Trust me the hand feeding like i've been doing prolly is truly not correct.....i feed as i remember....

Other then that i'm having a serious Aphid problem, but got some stuff that's supposed to fix that. Really wanted to do it the natural lady bug way, but they done got 2 of my plant's luckily i had 2 on back up just in case i messed things up. For now i'll just have to spray them.

Welp hope everyone's garden is doing good. Off to finish putting my pump and lines back together.
