The new growth on my hardened off peppers was coming in very tender, bubbled and scalding in the sun. Supplementing calcium and magnesium fortified the cell walls, and the newest growth is coming in strong.

Thanks so much. I was really "stumped" by a yellow tip on a few of my lemon trees. Cheers from Alaska!

Awesome video. I didn't know about mobile and non mobile nutrients. I would love to learn more about that. Thanks!

This is one of the best videos i have watched thanks both very informative

Awesome information. Really nice that you distinguish symptoms in new leaves vs. old. One thing I've not seen yet -- what symptoms do you get from too much of common nutrients?

Great videos! One of your videos mentions ‘here in New England.” I am also in New England and am happy to find a team with a great amount of general knowledge but also knowledge very applicable to the New England conditions. Can I ask what part of NE? I’m an older gardener and had never heard of mobile vs immobile or the purple leaves! Makes so much sense! I had to go and look at all my starts! Thanks for sharing!

I've got a good few unhappy plants atm but I also have a curl grub problem and the last 3 weeks have been rainy af, plus my soil is probably a season or two old across the board so ph has probably shifted over time, that combination of factors while going into winter in the southern hemisphere has pimp slapped tf out of my plants.

Question: I'm growing in 10 gallon grow bags. I've never had any problems with blossom end rot until recently (several years, same variety of tomatoes). I am also very diligent about watering and fertilizing my plants. That said we had a storm come through that dumped about two feet of water in just a few days. After that storm I pulled a bunch of green tomatoes that had blossom end rot. I didn't see blossom end rot before nor since but I'm trying to figure out 'why' and what could have caused me to lose that many fruit. Honestly it wasn't a ton, but maybe 8 to 10 fruit that was tossed. Can excessive water cause blossom end rot?

I think if calcium was washed out of the soil, maybe? Grow bags have so much drainage that nutrients can be washed out. Or too much water might have affected the plant's ability to uptake calcium? Just guessing

Can confirm excessive/inconsistent watering causes cracked tomatoes and blossom end rot. There’s also soil pest that messes w tomatoes

What's your recommendation for soil test for container plants?

@geekygreenhouse 3 ай бұрын

Many soil testing labs do no test potting soil - it's a different medium all together. Essentially, you have to treat it almost like hydroponics - expect the nutrients to deplete over time replacing them at a regular cadence. You can also take rainfall into consideration, as it can wash out nitrogen from the potting soil

When is a good time to add Gypsum?

@Chris-op7yt 4 ай бұрын

calcium is number one nutrient that is required in large quantities but tends to leach with rains or regular watering. calcium thiosulfate is thus far the only viable way to get large amounts of calcium i to soil without altering ph. gypsum is also ph neutral, but takes a year or more to release calcium. having said that, many other deficiencies are to be had by lack of calcium, and if you add something like hydrated lime to calcium deficient plants, the temporary spike in ph will not hurt plants. ny whole garden had deficiencies, especially acid loving plants, and what finally helped was mixing hydrated lime into soil. nothing else worked. ph concerns are secondary to having enough calcium, which leaches down. dont assume every soil has enough. the ph of the soil may already be neutral or higher, due to other minerals and salts that raise ph. you cant take those out, but sufficient calcium is a must.

So I have some Serrano plants that are just really light green what could it be? Not really yellow.

@geekygreenhouse 2 ай бұрын

Some plant leaves are light than others naturally, but if it's looking especially pale, I would guess either not enough light, or nitrogen deficiency or uptake issue.

@@geekygreenhouse they were darker like the other peppers, in a raised bed with 1 other Serrano plant, (probably 2x4x1 deep. Threw some organic fertilizer orotund each to see if that helps….still getting some flowers on it though. They were a late planting, first time with any kind of garden. We will see what happens. Learning experience for next year

Pretty shady to require me to sign up for emails to get the chart

@Redhotshawntexas 4 ай бұрын

Most content creators do that. They offer something for free, ie an ebook or a chart, in exchange for signing up for their email list. Welcome to the internet.
