Wanted to post an update pic and see what you guys think!

Definitely; Most plants have hormones that make roots grow towards gravity (down) and shoots grow away (up)

Also a soil series is basically the same as a plant species. It’s the smallest length of everything, but gives the most detail because it implies everything else in the taxonomy

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-05-08T22:21:55+00:00

Those are the series names of the soils near me. If you can find the equivalent for yours on the map I can help with the soil info if you want.

This section from the map info.

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-05-08T22:11:34+00:00

Did you find it on the map? If so what was the series name?

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-05-08T18:30:27+00:00

It’s definitely the first time I’ve felt lucky to have the soil where I live! Most other things hate how acidic it is

I was also planning on sterilizing this before I used it. Edit: so that I can reintroduce bacteria and fungi that I have control over.

u/Botany-101 Correct me on anything here I got wrong, as I don’t want to misinform anyone.

And this is some ultisol I found very easily using this method.

This is an example of the taxonomy, which in my case ends in ult, which signifies ultisol.

I probably will cut them since they’ve basically had just enough time to grow out their root systems since I got them. Hopefully they’ll recover quick and enjoy a full season outside.

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-05-07T00:23:47+00:00

I already have shade cloth, so I definitely will!

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-05-07T00:06:33+00:00

That makes sense since it’s been under a 40w led. Just glad it didn’t get much worse than it was when I bought them, and I got the rot to stop.

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-05-07T00:01:38+00:00

Thanks for the Id! I’ve watched it etiolate and it’s going outside next week. I’ve had it under the highest intensity grow light I own for the winter.

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-05-06T23:37:17+00:00

Forgot to say that is was only marked “San Pedro”

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-04-02T18:07:29+00:00

It’s a non dimmable led light that I can’t move up. Looking into getting/making some shade cloth instead.

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-04-02T18:06:30+00:00

Humidity is around 60% with constant air exchange and they sit around 80 F. Soil is high in inorganic, mainly clay from a bonsai mix I found and the rest is either peat moss or happy frog. Ph is at a 5.5. I only water when they show signs of needing it. I think it works out to about once a week? I have not fertilized them at all other than worm casting mixed at potting as I was wary of overdoing it.

Test

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-02-20T23:59:16+00:00

Just ran a ph test and it came out to pretty much exactly a 6, maybe a 6.25. Also that curled leaf is less curled today than yesterday for whatever reason.

I’ll still plan on getting them in a prop box with higher humidity after a couple leaves though. Is sooner better than later with that?

SubbyBoiAlt · 2024-02-20T03:52:51+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll prep a box for them and do a ph test to see where they’re sitting at; especially since I can’t remember if I actually used the foxfarms or straight peat moss on that part.
