May/may not be pot worms. Effectively and accurately identifying soil critters isn't as cut and dry as some might expect. NOT beneficial nematodes, as they don't eat developing roots. As you've described everything, this has happened to me in the past. Seeds weren't popping, dug 'em up and...

Love it! Source for the graphic please?

Temperature of your nutrient solution might be too high.... Water temperature affects Dissolved Oxygen levels in the nutrient solution, as does barometric pressure (altitude). The warmer the water and higher the altitude, the less oxygen the water can hold under "static" conditions. If you...

Cannabis and Anthocyanins Anthocyanins are found in cannabis, with some strains (cultivars) containing more pigment than others (e.g., Granddaddy Purple, Purple Diesel). Cannabis growing in colder temperatures (e.g., if it regularly drops below 65 degrees Fahrenheit at night) tend to display...

Yes! It's happened to me years ago when I was composting with horse manure. Did some back tracking at the time to find out that clopyralids were regularly used in the fields that the horses grazed in. "Organic matter" tends to bind this stuff, protecting it from natural degradation. Run your...

You might want to spend some time reading articles published by horticultural sources, rather than weed boards. pH is one thing, alkalinity is another. The pH of irrigation water has little effect of the pH of the substrate, but alkalinity will drive substrate pH up over time. I encourage you...

Search "irrigation water, alkalinity, and pH". Sodium is way too high for container gardening.

Thanks. I'll have a look see and hit you up in a few days.

I was going to review that video to see where you might be coming from, but I'm not willing to spend an hour+ of my time to do so. Can you offer a time stamp of where I might begin?

That report doesn't contain the testing parameter I'm looking for (alkalinity). It's meant for human consumption, not agricultural application. I'm kinda busy right now, but would you mind if I send you a PM sometime in the next few days?

Great. Link to your local water report?
