    Organic fertilizers???

    Fungus Knats vs Mosquito Bits

    Thanks, Will it hurt getting the solution on the foliage? Would it be ok to mix it in my fertilizer solution tank and apply it with overhead irrigation? Once applied does the bacteria continue to multiply and spread throughout the media?

    Problem with Phrag QF Angel Wings

    Semi-Hydroponic (S/H) Setups

    Phrag Yelva Myhre progeny question

    I've tried to use triploids with zero success. A few times seed capsules developed and matured but with no seed produced. I understand some cym breeders have had success using triploids but the results were not good and just continued the dead end line.

    Phrag Yelva Myhre progeny question

    Alfredo Manrique made the cross Yelva Myhre about 12 years ago. He allowed Bjorn to register it as he was the first to flower it. You don't see many crosses with it because the Rosalie Dexler parent was a 4n tetraploid. So Yelva Myhre is a sterile 3n triploid.
