As I said, it's academic. I'm staying organic. Will switch to creek water and take my chances things will correct themselves. Fingers crossed. Thanks.

Fecies is a smell I am getting used too since I went organic. Recently I found an old mason jar full of water and rusty nails. I filled it last year and it's been sitting ever since . Black as Indian ink and smells like nothing I can describe. Crazy stink! Don't think I would feed it to Lucifer...

Must be so. Last question; and it's strictly academic and perhaps quite stupid, but is there any non-organic/chemical fix for this problem? And if I can sort out better water what are the chances of recovery?

Creek is all but dry. A few large and highly biologic puddles is all that's left. Still there are tadpoles so it's not anaerobic. Long hike with 5 gallon buckets but I'll do it for love and weed. Thanks for all the help. Any theory on why my tomatoes are so healthy?

Also I grew successfully last season using same water. Not to say it hasn't changed since. Could drought have concentrated it? Scrambling for ways to find fault with this diagnosis as the implications are too daunting.

Kalebaiden, Looks like Magnesium is pretty vital. Plus you reckon the lock out is due to hard water. It makes sense. Only thing that seems odd is most of my veggies seem happy. Not the squash, but the tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and chard. I thought cannabis would be more robust. Unfortunately I...

Love it. I have wild or volunteer tomatillos growing in the fields by my house. They are somewhat puny. You show me their potential. Might snag some seed and try them next year. Curious about the size of your garden any how you water. I use drip lines but feel like I should have laid things out...

Don't let me catch you round here, son.

It's scary this year. Three big ones in sight of my back door. Been lucky so far but season is not even half way through. I hope your Mum is OK. It's very hard to evacuate not sure I will when the time comes. Still, pray or whatever for those that have lost and for Cal Fire.

Aim aim, The tops look good but there is trouble in paradise. I need to act. A lot of the N is already in the soil in the form of manure and the mulch is N heavy. The only other source is Fish Emulsion that I add to my teas. Since bud started to show I have reduced it. Some plants are a little...

Kalebaiden, It's a magnesium deficiency according to the flow chart. The leaf chart offered too many possibilities, though it does also indicate mg. just none of my leaves exactly match the pics. Very helpful, thanks. Next question. Wtf should I do?

lfc89, I've been planning to have my water checked, think I can get done free by the ag dept. Your advice nudges me to act. Wish I could sort out an reverse osmosis system but I'm super underfunded and have to work with what I've got. Not certain, and I hope someone who knows may confirm, but I...

Depends on the circumstances. I grow outdoors in ammended soil and feed only organics. Best way for me and the method I would reccemend without hesitation but.... If I was a novice growing indoors and was not concerned with organics, I would probably go with RockWool or some other nuteral...

Any other growers threatened by fire? Nothing to do but pray the wind don't shift

Perhaps it's splash burn. That leaf is very dark though. Too much N? Would monitor closely but not act unless trouble gets worse.

Agreed. A girl and a boy.

Smash em, dabz.

Well water is hard. However I completed a decent grow last year with the same water and all my vegetables seem happy enough. That also allows me to think the soil, though poor, is acceptable. One idea is I may have overloaded on N. I understand this is hard to do with organic ferts but maybe I...

Still adding small amounts of manure, alfalfa and fish emulsion to teas . Less than before, admittedly. Just added kelp meal and guano to the mix plus a little Epsom and stuff like potato peel and banana skins for P and K. I thought the green veins were significant too. What do you think of my...
