Under the soil could be rot or infection.

When you get one stalk that keels over it's usually a borer grub. Look for a hole somewhere with sawdust and black droppings.

Neptunes Harvest isn't as bad as FiSh Sh!t for a stupid picture, but it's definitely more trendy than cost effective. When I did organics, I bought the 36 and 27 LB. espoma bags. Now I do Jack's start to finish and don't even bother with the epsom anymore.

No lime to buffer?

Ya, sure the driver has a MW sticker on it......but I bet the pcb looks like it was soldered by a seven year old sporting a pair of Bubbles glasses.

You will get both sides. I personally wouldn't bother. The main things that control soil pH are the microbes and lime in it. I have never noticed a pH drift in containers worth worrying about until after 6 months of use.

Mix in some DE as well, it doesn't kill the infestation, but it will slow it down.

It is completely normal, and you should be just fine. Liquid nutes are always acidic. Any good container mix will have enough dolomite to buffer a 5.6 feed without issue.

If he wants to flex on the poors growing in muddy cowshit.....I would suggest high pressure aeroponics. You need all sorts of fancy stuff like atomizers, solenoids, check valves, logic boards, micron filters, expensive pumps, manifolds and a lot of patience when all that stuff starts to malfunction.

I grow outdoors in peat mix, but I use a HP mix or I add enough perlite to the mix to make it almost impossible to overwater. Then when a heatwave hits, I cut the EC to about half and water 2-3 times a day. I run the garden veggies and herbage off a 1000L IBC with a timer and irrigation lines.

I tried Jack's this year without the epsom as well. 3.5 grams jacks-2 grams calnit and it works great on the garden veggies and the herb selection. I go for a sterile rez 2mg/L cal-hypo. I mix up a liter with 10 grams so it's easy to measure with a syringe.

What's the best way to clean and recondition one of the newer meters with the flush mount graphite electrodes?

Having fun on Clingstone was a success. My luck otherwise was horrible, I got cleaned out on the poker table, the rocks claimed numerous gear rigs and all I caught were a few bait size porgies.

My outdoor plants always drop some of the old large bottom fan leaves during transition time. If the top half of the plant looks fine I wouldn't worry about it.

The HOCL electrolysis is done separate and then added to the rez. At 2mg/L I'll stick with my Cal-Hypo

If I didn't buy 25# a year of cal-hypo for my pool, I would just make a cheap electrolysis machine using an old 12V PSU and a couple carbon graphite rods. I would also use potassium or calcium chloride instead of sodium since it's going into a nutrient solution.

A group of friends and I rented Clingstone for the week. Hopefully I can pull a few nice stripers from Narraganset, but I'll take a few tautog or porgy as well. Gonna gear up and head down there in a bit. If the weather and fishing suck's we'll probably just roll it up and play Hold'em for the...

You might want to look into Promix a bit more then. Depending on the perlite, vermiculite and peat ratios of the type of Promix used, container volume and plant size, you can water anywhere from twice a day to every 5 days.

I'm personally not a fan of coco, I think it's more hassle than a HP buffered peat growers mix.
