  • What's wrong with my cucumbers?

    Jump

  • Thanks for your advice. I'll try giving them more nutrients and keep them damp. This will be difficult for me because I've conditioned myself to only water when the top 3 - 5 cm of the soil are dry... I killed more plants by overwatering than uunderwatering...

    They alread have fruit but I read that cucumbers keep producing fruit as long as I harvest them before they're fully ripe.

  • Yes it's my first time growing cucumbers. I water them when the soil at the top of the container is dry two knuckles deep. This happens every few days. Maybe this is not often enough?

  • Thanks! It's possible. I now removed the affected leaves and started changing the nutrition of the plants to rule out any nutrient deficiencies that I may have caused by skipping "proper" nutrients and relying on my home made slurry.

  • Thanks for you thoughts! I didn't know perlite didn't do anything for drainage. I honestly thought aeration and drainage were more or less two sides of the same coin.

  • I haven't found any signs of spider mites (no webbing).

    I've taken the affected leaves off and started feeding the plants with proper nutrients (COMPO Grow Organic for the time being, because its available and at least works great with my cannabis plants). Maybe my home made slurry is part of the problem.

    I'd think that the cucumbers don't get too much water because I water them when the soil is dry about two knuckles deep which proved appropriate for Alle my plants.

  • Thanks, I'll try feeding the cucumbers with my cannabis nutrients. It's COMPO Grow Organic by the way.

    Yes, they are in the same soil but I didn't use special cannabis soil but instead a simple potting soil mixed with some perlite for better drainage. I also added some horn buckle before planting.

  • No I don't think so. In German it's called "Jauche" and is a natural fertilizer that you get when you let plant parts (often nettle or goutweed) sit in water for a few weeks.

    I thought the drainage of the soil was good enough. It's potting soil mixed with ~ 10 % perlite for drainage. The pots I use are textile pots with good drainage and I try to wait wi watering until the soil is at least 3 - 5 cm dry.

    Maybe you got have a point with your suspicion that the container maybe limiting the plants... Next year I'll definitely plant my cucumber plants in a raised bed.

  • No, the cannabis is fed with a special cannabis fertilizer.

  • My mom's doctor be like

    Jump

  • Doctors still do this, at least in Germany. When you're a smoker and getting pregnant, your doctor will most likely not try to bully you into quitting, instead they inform you about the risks and recommend you to cut down the smoking to a minimum but they will also acknowledge that you will most likely not overcome your addiction while your body is already under a lot of stress.

  • the debt

    Jump

  • Why would that happen? There's no proof that printing money (while considering the boundaries of the real resources like available work force) automatically leads to hyperinflation.

  • the debt

    Jump

  • I see what you mean, but this is not about having a strangle hold on the world or being the world's reserve currency. This is about having your own currency and collecting taxes in this currency. As long as a country collects taxes in its own currency there will be demand for that currency.

  • the debt

    Jump

  • Okay, but even if the USA can't change the law regarding states bonds, it is virtually impossible that people stop buying US states bonds since the US Dollar is kinda like the most established currency in the world.

    So your argument is completely theoretical.

  • the debt

    Jump

  • Serious question? Money today is nothing more than a number in an account. When a country needs more of its own currency, it can increase it's account by that amount.

  • the debt

    Jump

  • Then stop selling bonds and start investing directly (build schools, repair bridges, pay your employees, etc.).

    Countries don't have to take the detour through state bonds because they can make money out of thin air. State bonds are a self-imposed and there's no law of nature that mandates using them.

  • They seemed to think that tax revenue in some way has to happen for spending to happen.

    Noo!

    But the federal government creates money ex nihilo.

    Yes!

    Money has to be created before it can be destroyed through taxation.

    Yes!!

    We do not rely on the money of the wealthy. What matters is actual, real resources and services we can provide.

    Yes, yes and yes!! ❤️

    Thanks for your concise explanation of MMT! I wouldn't be able to phrase it this well. ❤️

  • the debt

    Jump

  • Public sector debt is private sector surplus.

    Yes! This is the very essence of our monetary system that nobody seems to understand.

    Jump

  • No, that is not true. That states sell bonds is a self-imposed rule.

    As long as a state collects its taxes in its own currency there will be demand for that currency.

  • What's the most seeming trivial thing you'll turn down a GF or BF for?

  • Don't get me wrong: You're 100 % entitled to your preferences and your definition of a hobby.

    It was just unusual for me to equate a hobby with putting effort and perseverance into something. For me a hobby is something you simply do for your enjoyment in your free time on a more or less regular basis.

    But hey: Definitions differ.🤷
