Haha yep that's why I said orange bastards lol.No worries, we get dem good ladybugs up here. :]
Sometimes they fade to an orangey color when they're older, so i prefer other ways of identification... ladybugs have black heads and wings, while their lookalikes have orange/yellow wings and orange heads.
Wait... do you mean I should aerate for plain watering too?Depending on how "hot" your soil is....It's an easy read when the girls get hungry/ personally I wouldn't add anything until a month in, Start off small and check their signs..
You'll be amazed what aerating your water/nutes does to the girls.........be safe grower.
Righto, I just wanted to articulate for third parties because I keep seeing people warning against orange, but sometimes an older ladybug will start to go orange... I think it's important to note that it's the "extra parts" that are a different color.. ie, the head hood and the wings. :0] So just an orangeish but-otherwise-black ladybug, is still good, is all. haha. Wasn't correcting your really, just articulating that detail for anyone who comes across the thread.Haha yep that's why I said orange bastards lol.
Ha, yea seeing as there is a lot of misiformation on this site might as well give them the dumbed down versionRighto, I just wanted to articulate for third parties because I keep seeing people warning against orange, but sometimes an older ladybug will start to go orange...

Yes plain water too......the roots will love itWait... do you mean I should aerate for plain watering too?
And, well, I'm more than a month in if you count from seed. But I did intentionally enrich the bottom 1/3rd of each pot by adding extra worm castings to the mix for that part. Then I layered up to a lighter regular soil-less mix ratio.
Think I should just wait til I see some yellowing? Or would you say just go ahead and start feeding? I do intend to start at 25% strength.
yeah he meant aerate the water prior to feeding. i do it too.Wait... do you mean I should aerate for plain watering too?

Gotcha... I have well water with a low ppm and no chlorine so I haven't bothered leaving water sitting before use. I'd imagine I'm oxygenating it on the way out of the tap... maybe I'll try bubbling it anyway...well i let my water sit for 24 hours prior to use but so long as you bubbliung say like for 5min before you water, this will significantly increase DO in the water.
Yeah, sorta... I will take pics and show ya what it looks like...seems to me as if your underfeeeding and under watering, had similar probs over here recently as i got tuned in with my nutes.
the burn sounds like dehydration, the edges that are left on the leaves, look like burnt paper?(brown?)
