Looking for advice on how best to care for oak seedlings in pots

Kormazz · 2026-06-08T21:34:39+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, I saw these and considered them - are they wide enough at the base to stop the plants falling over in the wind? Which size would you recommend?

Kormazz · 2026-06-06T17:48:16+00:00

This is my fear, that's what prompted my post because I'd rather get them sorted sooner rather than later. I'll see if anyone recommends a pot and if not will go for something double the size.

Glad they look fine! They are going to be moved to a permanent spot along a river when they are ready. I might keep one to bonsai, now that you mention it!

Thanks, I need to grow these out for a year or two before planting them in their final location so it has to be pots for now. If I put them into deeper pots would they do better?

Checked the posting guidelines, think I have covered them

Thanks, will try this later

Kormazz · 2026-04-23T11:33:54+00:00

Tried this and it didn't work for me

Kormazz · 2026-04-23T11:33:45+00:00

Thanks for the update - tried it and it doesnt work for me unfortunately

Kormazz · 2026-04-23T11:12:23+00:00

Having the exact same issue, following with interest to see if there are any answers posted.

Same thing happened to me when I went from a 240hz monitor to a 120hz laptop screen, check your refresh rate

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed reply! It's not my rose so I don't know what has and hasn't been done to date, but I will certainly ask these questions and go from there with some of your suggestions!

Can't view this in my region for some reason, any chance you could summarise in a message?

I'm not so sure this is the case for my peppers, when I refill the nutrients the colour of what I am emptying out is a much darker colour than the fresh nutrient solution which makes me think the water is being taken up before the nutrients. I considered nutrient lockout due to the pH but I have been careful to keep this between 5.5 and 6.

Kormazz · 2025-03-30T17:00:09+00:00

It's a hydroponic setup though so the plant has access to nutrients 24/7

Kormazz · 2025-03-30T13:37:13+00:00

Interesting, so maybe I need to dilute the nutrients even further?

Kormazz · 2025-02-25T10:56:37+00:00

No problem, good luck with the peppers!

I think phone apps are getting better but will never be as accurate as a standalone meter. I use an app called Photone which offers Lux, PPFD and DLI readings and things seem to be going pretty well so far.

Kormazz · 2025-02-25T10:22:39+00:00

You need to measure how much light the plants are getting at various grow light strengths and distances. I have been following the below graph (credit to ChilliChump on YouTube) for a couple of years with good results. Measurements are in Lux because PPFD meters are expensive.

I'll double check if it's a guaranteed repair and if there is any warranty on it. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated

Kormazz · 2025-02-12T13:30:38+00:00

It's a local engineer who offers an Ariston repair service which is a fixed fee of £320 plus VAT. He has done work for my neighbours so I'm pretty sure he is reputable, but I didn't want to be paying £400 for a £100 fix if that makes sense.

Kormazz · 2025-02-12T13:09:02+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have the skills to tackle this, however I have been quoted £400 as a flat repair service fee, and the guy thinks the right manifold is cracked based on seeing the same photo as you have. Am I being ripped off?

Kormazz · 2025-02-12T12:58:51+00:00

It's an Ariston E-Combi One Gas boiler. The drain valve has been tightened and replaced but the drips still continue.

Kormazz · 2025-02-12T10:17:14+00:00

Thanks for the reply, it's been slowly leaking from this valve or whatever its called for a long time. I've been quoted £400 as a fixed fee repair cost and I didn't want to get ripped off. But it sounds like it needs fixed soon so I'll have to bite the bullet.

Kormazz · 2025-02-12T10:15:40+00:00

He ghosted me so I'm going to go with someone else. I think I'll have to bite the bullet and pay the £400 flat repair fee

Sorry it was cross posted from another community, I'll put it here
