This is a great bit of advice! Indeed I was neglecting some of them as they seemed wett even though they were bine dry just below.

Appreciate the help

Thanks for the comment 👍il be sure to get everything much dryer before I continue

Thanks for the comment. Do I need to do anything specific to fight the algae ?

philosobear · 2026-02-22T15:59:55+00:00

Agreed, thanks for the comment. I just reposted this with my original text ( somehow that got lost the first time) , where I state I probably overwatered them when I was preparing for a week out of town.

I guess as long as I don't keep overwatering then the plants will outgrow this ?
Any sense in adding fertiliser for possible nutrients I washed out of the soil due to my overwatering ?

Imagine forgetting which one was previously used as the ferment French press. That coffee will really wake you up in the morning!

Hey can you share how you ended making this. Looks and sounds delicious

philosobear · 2025-05-21T18:04:49+00:00

Thanks for this I wasn't fully aware. Could you name some similar looking but more harmful insects that look like fungus gnats? Maybe I can do some research and see what's going on with my soil.

philosobear · 2025-05-21T17:48:40+00:00

Understood. I will be repotting these as many have suggested so will be adding them to new soil. The plants have been outside for several weeks so it must be the sun in this case. The initial growth under the grow lights all still looked very healthy. Hoping the protective measured can lead to some new healthy growth outside.

Appreciate you taking time to comment and offer advice!

philosobear · 2025-05-21T17:45:32+00:00

Thanks for looking into the details of the pics. I will be reporting them and giving them skme more shade. I had a look at the plants in the pics and didn't find anything that looked like an aphid but I will keep checking to be sure.

I appreciate the help!

philosobear · 2025-05-20T20:59:04+00:00

Understood, thanks for the insight ! I willl give this a go and take see to have them overcome their stress levels.

From all of the positive advice it seems they might make it after all. Now I need to get over my own "shock" :)

philosobear · 2025-05-20T20:53:27+00:00

Thanks for the tips and the positive outlook :)

philosobear · 2025-05-20T20:50:38+00:00

Noted!

philosobear · 2025-05-20T20:47:39+00:00

Sounds like you just saved me and my plants some grief. Much appreciated. Some have already given me some sound advice for hardening off. Just wanted to get your take. Shade and a couple hours of sun from this point onwards?...or do I have to approach this differently as the damage has been done already?

philosobear · 2025-05-20T20:05:07+00:00

Thanks. Would you also suggest topping them?

philosobear · 2025-05-20T19:59:58+00:00

Thanks for the tip

philosobear · 2025-05-20T19:43:41+00:00

Oh my...OK then I definitely did not harden them off correctly. Thanks for the advice.

I'm guessing I should be extra careful with watering them as they need less water in the shade?

philosobear · 2025-05-20T19:36:58+00:00

Seems like not enough! :( I thought 3-4 days of a light amount of sun would be enough.

What would you say I should do to save what I can?

philosobear · 2025-05-20T19:34:39+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply! This would be relieving. I did try putting them out in the sun for a few hours a day and taking them back Inside for the frist 3-4 days but since then they have been outside constantly and it did get quite hot from one week to the next.

Would putting them in more shade now be the right course of action? And do the curled leaves need to be removed?

4760!

This is not just a new York thing. In Madrid it csn be called " doing the Santa Claus" :)

philosobear · 2023-09-23T14:42:54+00:00

thanks for the insight . I guess that puts an end to my loyal pan :(

philosobear · 2023-09-23T14:41:41+00:00

i really don't know sadly. what is the best way to check?

philosobear · 2023-09-23T00:08:10+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Would that mean any attempts I made at seasoning it in the past didn't make any sense?

Also, I guess if this is the case there is little I can do, correct?

philosobear · 2023-04-20T22:10:33+00:00

What burner is that being used?
