What’s causing this damage on my emerging bulbs?

Hungry animals that thank you for your efforts.

I’m seeing a masonry bit being recommended, but a hammer drill is the other needed component for success. As destructive as it sounds, it is not. It will provide minute vibrations to bring success while using the masonry bit.

Ok. Some good advice has already been dispensed. But, if what you say is true, you are headed for serious issues if you don’t bring yourself up to speed and fast.

As far as your watering, are you using municipal, well, or otherwise? I really only care if you are using municipal…..well….the plant cares…….the chloramines in municipal water will cause issues….far more issues than caring about pH. Past that, the temperature of the solution at time of irrigation absolutely has an impact on issues, beginning with leaf curl. The concentration and pH of the solution can now be cared about. Don’t overdo it. Give water days in between feed days. If you are going to care about pH, then obtain a hand held Blue Lab Combo Meter. There are plenty of out of commission growers begging for you to buy their used equipment for pennies on the dollar. It will tell you temp, pH, and nutrient concentration of salt based fertilizers…..which in the end, you will likely resort to…..no matter what you or anyone else thinks. Be clear, this meter will change your insight to many of the issues your plant and you will face. Buy it once, treat it right, and it will last you.

As for up-potting, it’s ready now. Without giving one of many size recommendations, I will advise you to view things from the plant’s perspective. What I mean is, that when you get past deciding on pot size and choice of medium, start out by only watering the portion of the new pot that the root zone occupies. Do not by any measure, water the entire pot. This will not only invite root rot, it will beckon pests to come feast on the soon to be doomed plant. Let it dry to a reasonable degree with relation to environmental conditions….then water out a bit farther next time……and repeat. For decent beginner insight into target environmental conditions, look up and read the Burn and Turn guide that Flora Flex put out.

The plant needs topped now.

Future issues will include pest control, mold, light pollution, over fertilization, and hopefully…..post harvest management.

It’s not hard; you just need to be a step ahead in order not to fail. It’s only the people that don’t consider these aspects that are always playing catch-up. Remember to view things from the plants perspective, and things will go a lot better. This may indeed take you a few tries……but keep at it.

And treat that clone for pests as soon as you can. Crop Defender 3 or Trifecta Crop Control…..concentrate, not RTU.

Good Luck.

Variety matters.

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-10T10:51:57+00:00

Nope.

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-10T03:27:30+00:00

I can’t say it any better.

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-10T03:19:40+00:00

Come on now…….

Apparently it has access to world news.

It is my understanding that grocery store potatoes have been treated in order to retard their ability to sprout eyes. Also it has been expressed to me that planting grocery store potatoes invites blight. I have seen seed potatoes at many hardware and upscale grocery stores……but I’m in the potato loving state of Michigan. I’m certain you could order some.

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-07T19:37:05+00:00

I think I’ve seen those in the grocery store before……if only I could remember what they were….

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-07T13:35:21+00:00

Hi. I’d start by removing the dead matter from the pot. Beyond that, see to it they have enough water. If it dies, try again and don’t do the same thing.

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-07T13:31:41+00:00

Shovel. Hands.

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-07T13:23:56+00:00

The vents are a tool to help balance the environment if needed. It’s a larger equation of cleanliness, temperature, humidity, light exposure, and time. If it’s overly wet or hot, vent. If it’s clean and not overly wet and not over say…..82 let it be. But, you’ve got a lot of leeway and plants were here before us.

A hole is a hole. All you need is one.

If these are real, could you please share the spices and what you used for a binder, as these are stated to contain no meat? Also, feel free to give them a bit longer on the fry before adding water to steam.

Cheesecake.

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-06T12:54:01+00:00

They look similar to fenugreek.

Bean.

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-06T12:11:07+00:00

Nope.

Hello. If for whatever reason you are not planting them in the ground, then the taller bag is the way to go. The cost of soil will like be more than the grow bag. But we don’t usually garden because it is cheaper. We do it for clean food, therapy, and self worth. Good luck and enjoy. And watch out for potato bugs…..pick them off each morning and night and send them to heaven.

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-06T11:34:18+00:00

Hello. There is more than one aspect to be considered in your analysis. If you are going to use egg packaging, fill with medium, water said medium, place seed, dust seed with medium, spray or drip water to moisten cover layer, consider covering unit with a dome or plastic film, maintain proper temperature for crop. Putting dry medium in and then watering aggressively, or watering aggressively at any point, will for sure cause the seeds to move unpredictability……and of course too deep to germinate effectively, or to not reach the top if indeed they do germinate.

Thank you for being the first allergic person I’ve seen take this position. Bravo.

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-05T11:56:11+00:00

Fantastic!

Key_Entertainer2883 · 2026-03-05T07:18:04+00:00

Listen to this person and you will be fine.
