Wetting agent you mean like a dish soap or fairy up ? And thanks I'm gna have a go with the 60 40 milk solution and then if it don't work I'll try the neem it was only on one small leaf out of the whole tent and nowhere else I've removed multiple leaves and tomorrow ill
Go and start the ipm for it and hopefully it wont return

Yes dish soap works as wetting agent but detergent isn't recommended for reasons idk ?
I've used fairy liquid on my honeysuckle plenty times with no problems ever?
Castile soap or a purpose made wetting agent is usually recommended.

Ime wetting agent/soap is super important it messes with surface tension preventing beading and 90% running off, fwiw used for pests water engulfs them and they drown, usually their hairs work with surface tension giving them a safety bubble, if you get the opportunity try a drop or two on water with springtails and you'll see them fall through the surface.

I've a few pics of my apple tree to share, I'm pleased with how it's come on.

To begin with I wasn't too enthusiastic about it but I'm getting to enjoy working with it and I'll get a better start next year so I'm looking forward to it now.

When I pruned it earlier in the year I left a 6" stump hoping it would sprout a shoot closer to the tree.

That shoot is much closer to the tree idk how it'll work out but I'm curious to see that's part of the enjoyment.

I've a buddy with a victoria plumb tree so I'm going to arrange a few shoots or buds to try and graft it, I'm not too fussy about apples but victtoria plumbs are delicious.

@Liamp1603 my fingers are crossed that it clears it up for you.

Have a great weekend folk's

I've got the same yellowing plant issue again with 3 autopots, today I got them to the front to give me access to them for hand feeding.

Ec and ph are good so it doesn't leave a whole lot?

I tested calmag on one plant (front right) and lol, well you see it lol.

The issue doesn't show up great in that pic.
Cheese dipz it's getting worse day on day?

I need to go back to the drawing board with the autopots?

@conor c is it within the realms of possible they're too wet with 50/50 coco and perlite?
Does that plant at the top look like what you'd see with too wet?

Cheers bud

It looks like feeding is the problem I'm sure the yellowing has halted?
The cheese dipz I burned is right at the back of the row it's definitely improved.

When I fed them the 2.2ec on Wednesday I snapped this.

Wed ^^^

Is this wave maker enough for my 100ltr res I assume it is

I expect that to be good the pumps I use in 50ltr are only 450/600lph and they give a nice rolling boil.

I've tried a 1500lph but it was a bit powerful and each watt adds heat to the nutrient, pumps are my heat source in winter.

That was the smallest wattage that store had I wil find smaller again

Looking good. Went to see someone this weekend and they had a beatifull plum tree. They actual picked some off for me, big purple plumbs. Not so much round but slightly elongated and they were realy sweet and soft, turned out to be much much better than the best plumbs from two major big brand stores. They also had a huge old grape tree with some of the biggest grapes ive ever seen. The grapes were actual the size of plumbs, unfortunatly they wasnt ripe yet and i was told they would get a bit bigger too.

 

[Star Dog]

@TheWholeTruth thanks bud,
your description sounds similar to victoria plum they've got a elongated shape and the colour and flavour sounds the same, plums are one of only a few fruit tree's really worth growing in Scotland for eating, thing is after you get the taste for off the tree it's difficult to go back to the super market.

Picolo cherry tomatoes another tasty project for next year.

Pot worms, visible with the naked eye but they're small.

A pin for scale


Interesting characters they're beneficial to have.
