One thing I have learned lately, MJ’s worst enemy is over watering.
We have been out of town a lot for 3 to 5 days at a time. My solution for the absences was to water everything really good before I left, and hope for the best when I got home.
I had returned from a camping trip in early May to find most of my plants in less than desirable shape.
I thought I had some deficiencies. PH was in range. I thought maybe under feeding, over feeding, cal mag, maybe I was holding my mouth wrong when I was pouring the water.
Then, we were out of town for 10 days. I had no choice but to get a house/plant sitter.
When I got back, the situation was worse than before, but it was obvious that a lot of overwatering was done while I was gone.
Overwatering really causes a lot of symptoms, that can be mistaken for a lot of different things.
I decided I was going to quit giving the problem plants anything at all until I saw signs of under watering.
Slowly, but surely, all my plants are starting to look nice and healthy again.
I am to the point now, I give them nothing until I see signs of wilt.
I am definitely seeing way more consistency when doing it this way.
