If not growing what would you cook with the above
what the fuck is wrong with my sneedlingsThey DO NOT look happy and they are not really growing first time growing a plant ever idk what i’m doing these are tomatoes in a grow tentI tried:>more light>less light>more water>less waterdidn’t help
>>22014939They do kind of look like they had too much water, Or maybe the soil was fertilized , not very long ago , too heavily
>>22014939I don't know if you're out for the count though may end up okay, Maybe we try starting some more in different soil The soil I'll use is literally the cheapest of the cheap three dollar bag
i have a big old rhubarb i inherited from the previous owner thats probably hundreds of years old, i dont love gardening but i feel i have an obligation to keep it goingother than that just some fruit trees that the animals always pilfer
>>22014976Fuck yeahGreat in pie,muffins, stir fry, Barbecue sauce
>>22014931I moved to a place with 9a/9b soil so this year was my first rodeo with desert gardening. There's some good guides about how to work with the soil here (and my herbs, peppers, squash, and tomatoes have all sprouted and taste pretty good) but I think I'm gonna have to cave and have raised beds ready for next planting season.
>>22014939I’ll help you out, anon. First thing I notice is that they’re too close together. How big is that container? Looks like a 5 gallon bag? You just need one specimen in there. I wouldn’t pull any out this late. Just snip at the surface so you don’t disturb the delicate rooting. I’d snip that middle one now and then try to save the other two. After you save them, choose the better specimen and cull the other.Can I get a better pic of your setup (including the lights so I can see how far apart everything is)? When were the last couple times you watered>pic rel is a cherry tomato that accidentally got a little too big in my tent. She’s planted now.
>>22014931>When the boogaloo gets into full swing,>the man who can produce his own food,>will be king.
>>22015170I bet that’s going to produce a ton of tomaters
>>22015236Thanks brosef. After proper hardening, she even stands strong and doesn’t need support anymoreGot this little flameo habanero plant I’m particularly proud of
>>22014939Ganbare, anon-kun>>22015170>>22015255That’s a pair of beauties desu
>>22015255Looking good
>>22014931I have 25 pepper plants, 40 onions, 6 potato plants, 10 sugar snap peas, 4 green bean, 4 cucumber plants and 1 tomato for Dad. I'm limited on space, but I think I'll grow some leafy greens in small containers.
>>22015640Sounds great ,what you plan of cooking
I ditched rainbow and am going full purple carrots this year.
>>22015640I grow leafy greens for my lizard. I think he likes them more than store leaves but it's hard to tell
>>22015640does that work? I've got a few small containers with no drainage, was going to just plant some walmart flowers.
>>22015917100% cam grow
>>22014931>What are you growing?Aunt Gertie’s Gold tomatoes, San Marzano sauce tomatoes, “Sweet Million” cherry tomatoesEarly habanero, “jalafuego” jalapeños, Poblanos, Anaheim peppersParsley, dill, rosemary, sage (two cultivars. Plant one in every bed because all fields kek), cilantro, basil, thymeZucchini, Atlantic Giant pumpkins, honeydew, cantaloupe, artichokeMcIntosh apple tree started this yearRadishes, collard greens, turnipsChamomile, lemon balmBee balm, wild bergamot, some balloon flowers for containersI really went all out and got interesting seeds back in December. Everything started phenomenally and is outside now. Well, except the gourds and melons. I wait a little longer on those in my zone.
>>22014939hard to diagnose from yellowing at this stage without photos of the underside of the leaves or uprooting entirelythat said, at this early cotyledon staging, it can only really be 3 things given the vascular structure is still purple1. overwatering root rot - they're so young you should just pull one up and look at the roots2. root compaction - your soil is so clumpy and full of dogshit that even with ample space they might be struggling if they weren't transplanted from cells3. purple vascular structure, while not unusual in the cotyledons, could be implying a deficiency in nitrogen, phosphorus (more likely), and/or magnesium and iron. it should be noted that really high carbon (woodchip) soils like this actually lock up nitrogen and are godawful for starting plants. buy soil blends from reputable greenhouses because this is obviously a garbagebag blend from home depot or some shit. you can visibly see the organic matter content is below 2% which makes the giant clumps concerning, chunks of white shit so huge it's probably not even perlite but just fucking rocksgenerally your chosen soil composition looks completely fucked. you need to reduce carbon/wood content and increase OM%it's not super likely the carbon content is immobilizing enough nitrogen to inhibit growth like this, but it WILL be impactful later. they are also too close together as >>22015170 points out, which would definitely fuck them down the line, shouldn't realllly be a problem at this stage (at least not enough for the farthest back one to have the same symptoms)sent pic over to my buddy in veg field crop research after writing the above and their consensus is it's most likely overwatered, extreme pH imbalance, inert/non-fertilized soil, and possibly cold stress on roots (unlikely unless you have a very thin layer of soil and your grow tent is on really cold grown like in a basement)Check pH and temp, and nutrient analysis from where you bought the soil if possible
>>22016322>>22015170Wow, thanks anons for the analysis i think you’re spot on. Idk wtf i’m doing, the bag at home depot was labelled Organic Super Tomato so that’s what I got. The grow tent is next to an open window, its been below 40 a couple nights. Shouldn’t happen again. I snipped one and will leave the other 2 as is. The roots aren’t rotting, will these recover if i just give them water and light or are they turbofucked and i should start over?
>>22016521temps below 40 would definitely cause some degree of chill injury (~45-50 is fine at this stage for hardening off but lower is very bad)unfortunately i can't find that particular soil blend online, but if your tomatoes do turn out kaput, i'd try to get a bag of good quality potting soil (Just Natural Organic Potting Mix is a really solid brand in the states if your home depot/walmart has it, if not/even with this ->) and blend it with worm castings and composted manure.general ratios for this are ~15% castings, 15% composted manure, 70% soilif you don't have access to affordable worm castings, you can reduce this and increase the manure up to 20%, but make sure to get a good potting soil in this casemake sure to get starter fert and/or tomato feed and apply monthly
>>22015654I can most the peppers and eat them through the year. Everything else I'll have for sides. >>22015831That's cool actually. >>22015917Yeah, spring mix, arugula, lettuce all are easy to grow.
>>22016521If your plants are still standing, which it sounds like they are, you still can fix them. The soil looked pretty dry so water is probably good. You mentioned grow tent by window. Do you have electric lights or are you using window light? Any other climate control in there?Other anon is 100% correct about the soil in general but tomatoes are a popular summer grow because they’re so easy. You can get the plant going and a harvest of some sort out of pretty much anything, even just the bag from the hardware store. Optimization and maximizing harvest are entirely different matters but you should be able to get these going and looking healthy before transplant in any case.
>>22016266> Giant pumpkinsBased, how big do they get?
>>22014931Don't be a cheapskate. Get a real job and support the farmers.
>>22016895If farmers produced flavorful goods i would support them.
>>22016872Pic rel is the specifics. So 800lbs is possible with those seeds but unlikely given what I’m doing. Since 50-100lbs are fairly common, my only specific goal is to beat 100lbs. I am a tryhard and all so I can probably beat that by but I think bragging on 4chan in advance is excessively bad form kek
>>22016895Firstly, I’d say that growing you own food is a unique way of experiencing food. You haven’t just grown each vegetable in your garden but you’ve also watched them grow. That makes it fun, come harvest, to finally cut it apart and see what was in there. Is everything good in there? Too watery or too meaty? Better than one from the store? Those answers lead you to whether or not you’ll ever spend time growing that for yourself again.Secondly, I do not save any money doing this. I spend money on my hobby like anybody else but at least it produces tasty results. Other things that somehow qualify as hobbies these days produce literally nothing.Thirdly, herbs mean a lot. Whether you’re trying to be healthy or a ludicrous fatass, as long as you actually cook at home you’ll love having some herbs outside. Stuff like thyme and sage are almost no effort. You can buy a three inch pot and plant it for those and you’ll have as much as you can use by the end of the season. They come back next year even bigger. Herbs are unironically stupidly expensive and I always forget them at the store. Now I think buying thyme is for chumps and can’t possibly forget it because it’s just out front. Herbs are high reward, low effort. Very few things in life are this easy so it’s good to take advantage when they are.
>>22017003You're literally stealing food from a farmers mouth when you do this. Consider more socially responsible and sustainable hobbies.
For anyone thinking of replying to >>22017025
>>22017025Kek. I’d be happy to do so. Maybe our farmers could prioritize food for our own people rather than growing millions of tons of soybeans to feed fucking China. Then I’d be a little more inclined to care about them. They get subsidies and free water, things the American taxpayers purchase for them, and then sell it to China for their own profit. How the fuck is that supposed to work?The soybean problem is so fucking big that it’s wordfiltered across the entire site.Current Year farmers can eat a fat dick.
>>22017105Oh fuck can we say soy here?Testing soyboy one two
>>22017105Our farmers are under tremendous pressure right now. China's tariffs of aggression against American farmers was bad enough, now Iran is causing a global energy crisis and driving the cost of fuel and fertilizer through the roof. Farmers on the brink of bankruptcy and Big Data and Big Solar are circling like vultures so they can swoop in and take their family farms.The last thing we need is yuppies larping as hobbyist farmers for the sake of posting their "garden" on instagram. You people will be the straw that breaks the camels back. When the farmers are gone and your starving neighbors are hunting you for dinner, you will regret this home gardening bullshit.
>>22017143> Tremendous pressure to not be a greedy cuntHow awful, she’s so strong
>>22017143I genuinely cannot tell if you’re being serious or pulling my leg so I will make it VERY simple>normal Americans buy farmers water and supplies via subsidies>farmers use those supplies we bought them to grow useless fucking soy>farmers sell that useless shit to China for their own profit>farmer gives nothing back to America
>>22016572>>22016855Thanks guys, took your advice and shes looking much better!
>>22017649Nicely done!!
>>22017143Farmers went the way of manufacturing, selling out their land to corporations like monsanto and will likey sell to solar/data too. I’m sympathetic to the small farmers like the example here but they aren’t the majority and i have no way of supporting them all year round anyway. I buy local eggs but i can’t buy up all their shit at the farmers market to can for myself. Smart ones will start selling seedlings for urban/suburban gardens. Also, i get hounded by people trying to buy my house too. Just hang up on them, then block and report spamEasy fuckin’ peasy
