No issue with any irrigation or wetting the plants. My understanding is that the bacteria are not self sustaining, so require repeated...

It doesn't work well that way. Put a tablespoon of bits into a gallon of chlorine-free water for a couple of days, then water with it...

Blossom malformation can be from any number of causes - thrips, drastic variations in culture, the use of hormones, etc.

I stand corrected and better informed (I have not looked into registration in decades).

That's fantastic! I'd love to get one of those. Around here, hot and full sun is no issue!

“Deep in moss” is not a good idea, as it tends to lead to rots starting in the leaf axils. Make sure the base is “at” the surface, not...

That is a flaw in the registration system. Same parent = same grex. Either that or find a good taxonomic argument to separate the...

Just to make sure of something, all nitrogen-containing fertilizers can give the same amount. If you use twice as much of the 7-x-x as...

Kelpak @ 1 tablespoon/gal every two weeks. I don't feed ex-flask seedlings intil they arer established and growing.
