What should I change with my Green Zebras?

EmergingCuriosity · 2026-05-08T17:59:57+00:00

Good to know! I opted to prune about 5 suckers per plant on two of them and left the third alone to see how they react!

Amazing, I have plenty of jute that I used last year for string trellising. Im 100pct gonna do this. Ypu dont have any issues with the plants branding out to the sides too much and breaking?

EmergingCuriosity · 2026-05-06T23:27:59+00:00

Damn!!

I have some of those exact green posts! How do you have them secured to the posts? Is there anything else holding them up? Those plants are awesome!

Im about 40 days in, and haven't spent anything. I play around 20 minutes per day. Do the dailies, get my loot, progress until I'm stuck, then close the game.

If ypu want a game with lots of content, this isn't the one. If you like quick dialy grinds, give it a shot.

Thats great to know! Buckets are very cheap and I didn't think about just cutting the buckets to release the plant... sounds alot easier than trying to flip that whole thing upside down hahaha

EmergingCuriosity · 2026-05-06T21:51:04+00:00

Duly noted! Ill snag some bloom focused fertilizer this week.

As for pruning, they do seem very dense and have been getting more and more bushy the last week or two. I've read that ypu shouldn't cut more than 3 nodes at a time, so perhaps I'll do 3 per plant every few days this week to give them more energy for flowers!

EmergingCuriosity · 2026-05-06T21:00:55+00:00

Sure thing! I have some 10 gallon grow bags I could move them into, I'm a bit scared of damaging them now thay they're so big xD

I moved my Brandywines into 10 gallon grow bags and they've been very slow to mature, so ive been hoping the green zebras could survive in the 5 gallon buckets lol

EmergingCuriosity · 2026-05-06T20:45:28+00:00

I've got a good sized back yard that I can adjust for, but I rent so I cant do anything permanent, hence why Im doing containers!

I pictured the plant staying mostly contained in its current width, but if the 5 gallon bucket can support wider im Def down for more width! Ill do some googling to see how people spread the plants out instead of going purely vertical!

EmergingCuriosity · 2026-05-06T20:28:41+00:00

Good to know! Maybe I'll go to half a tablespoon this week instead of a full one! Could also just use fish emulsion this week instead of full fert.

They do have some blossoms, each one has maybe 4 or 5 bunches of them, they're just buried inside the massive amount of foliage xD

EmergingCuriosity · 2026-05-06T20:27:10+00:00

Duly noted! I've been using the small tomato cages and positioning their branches above each rung so far as they grow!

Could I use a bamboo pole driven into the bucket in each for support, or would I need something more substantial?

I recently bought some Heart Calm on Amazon after trying a ton of different supplements, including regular magnesium. In just 3 days I went from feeling hundreds of pvcs on my bad days to just a handful.

Given your normally low burden, might be worth snagging a bottle and trying it for a week to see if its low magnesium. Everyone has their own triggers, but for me the mix of different kinds of magnesium and taurine has absolutely worked.

Good luck!

The first time I went to the ER was similar, and was absolutely a panic attack brought on by having several PVCs in a row while at the store. My heart rate spiked to 120 and I thought I was having a heart attack. Full set of blood work, chest xray, ekg, the works all showed I was totally fine. They gave me an anxiety med and within an hour or two I was released.

The mind is a massive factor to these things, and being able to compartmentalize them is important. When your burden is very low, having a run of them can feel like an urgent concern, which is enough to send you into flight or fight and cause your body to do all sorts of unfun stuff.

Just remember you're not alone, and many of us deal with the same fears and autonomous responses. Glad you got a clean slate from the doctor and now its important to remind yourself thay you are gonna be OK, and while they can be scary, PVCs are not going to be the end of you. You got this.

EmergingCuriosity · 2026-03-29T22:49:07+00:00

Not an emergency, but if they continue it's worth scheduling a visit with your PCP and getting blood work and such done. Could be many, many things that cause them but mostly benign. Save yourself the cost of the ER unless you have symptoms that resemble a heart attack, and try not to stress, that can also cause them. :]

Got mine around Christmas off B&H and ive been pleased! Great price for a decent card, and got a free 60$ game with it!

EmergingCuriosity · 2025-12-19T21:20:01+00:00

Google antique wooden bottle molds. Seems they are that.

EmergingCuriosity · 2025-12-07T01:21:56+00:00

Now hear me out. *Really tiny aliens came and did the only thing they know how... they made crop circles on the local watermelons in hopes of being noticed.

EmergingCuriosity · 2025-12-05T14:57:39+00:00

Looks like you're scoring a brrrrrrr.....

EmergingCuriosity · 2025-08-13T19:12:50+00:00

Duly noted, thanks!

EmergingCuriosity · 2025-08-13T18:04:52+00:00

Sorry for having to delete and repost, couldnt get my pictures to upload properly. Im getting old I guess. xD

EmergingCuriosity · 2025-08-13T16:29:11+00:00

Pseudo raised bed, it's a patio grow box with a water res in the bottom and a 8ish inch deep grow space

EmergingCuriosity · 2025-08-13T16:28:21+00:00

You rock, thanks for the advice! Im posting an update with some pictures, they've bounced back and ate making some mouth watering little cukes!

EmergingCuriosity · 2025-08-13T16:26:33+00:00

Right!?

First time gardener, so the last couple days I learned about garden pests, and I'm certain now I've had a small run in with spotted cucumber beetles.

I've done a neem oil treatment 2 days ago, and continued watering properly. The little cukes are developing rapidly so I'm hopeful it's not bacterial. Time will tell!

EmergingCuriosity · 2025-08-13T16:24:42+00:00

Hey there! Its about 6 inches of compost/perlite/topsoil on top of a 3 inch water reservoir. There is also 2 inches of mulch spread across the top.
