Question about offsets
Comments (19)Concluding from several fertilizer solution formulas for ornamentals and greens as well, documented for the optimized usage in hydroponic cultivation I can nearly exclude that there is any rational argument for the hight phosphorous content in these - as it seems to me - typical american bloom boosters. For elucidation I have first averaged the concentrations of 10 formulas which were so remarkably similar - they did not substantially differ from each other, despite of being designed for Chrysanthemums, tomatoes, cucumbers, paprika, cymbidiums and so on... And then I calculated the resulting ratio of N:P:K - more exactly meaning the ratios of m(N) : m(P2O5) : m(K) (!) (Kalium = Potassium; see below) cations:___________mmol/L___mg/L____________mmol/L___mg/L Kalium K+__________6.0______235___eq K2O____3.0______283 Calcium Ca++_______3.0______120 Magnesium Mg++_____0.75_____18 Ammonium NH4+_____0.5 ______9_____eq N______0.5______7 anions: Nitrat NO3-________10.5_____651___eq N______10.5_____147 pr.PhosphatH2PO4-__1.5______145___eq P2O5___0.75_____107 Sulfat SO4--________1.0______96 From this recalculated recipe I obtain a ratio gropup for m(N) : m(P2O5) : m(K) as (7+147) : 107 : 283 eq 1.44 : 1.00 : 2.64 or coarsely 1.5 : 1 : 2.5 or a multiple from that for example 4.5 : 3 : 7.5 For my part - I use one 6 : 3 : 6 since many years - at 1000 pm with every watering, and I feel myself confirmed by its similarity to the calculated ratio above. I mention these aspects because Phosphorous is a possibly very dangerous macronutrient when overdosed. It will at least immobilize essential micronutrients in the substrate thus making them inaccessible for the plant. A miraculous bloom-o-gene booster-feeding formula of 15:30:15 eq 4 : 8 : 4 is in my eyes simply grotesque *ggg* A further confirmation of my "Miracle-Maxi-P" offending point of view *ggg* is that the modern solid German fertilizers of the brand "Hakaphos" are ALL composed on a basis of a rather low phosphorous content at least as compared to Potassium (Kalium).

Comments (6)The best way I found to block out light is with room darkening cellular shades that are properly fitted. This will that care of 99 % of the light. Then panels along the sides for the light seeping thru and a top treatment. The below article covers this very topic. Here is a link that might be useful: Its midnight anytime you want with these cellular shades...See MoreQuestion about water intrusion issues with large sliding doors?
Comments (23)1. lip height is related to wind rating. Your structural engineer uses this rating for calcs on the house and the windows should meet this or they could invalidate the water intrusion portion of ant warranty. 2. same without the 2" patio drop or other measures. Check plans & code. That being said I did one for a close buddy 12 years back that was flush tracked across a stone floor using a 16' deep overhang and I buried a water channel against the foundation premiter. At that time these were not wind/rain rated at all but it worked. I'm very careful after hearing of a series of issues on the western slopes of the Bay Area....See MoreAlicia Gordon - Question about your dining room window trim
Comments (0)Alicia Gordon - I was looking back at some old threads and found your post about paint colors in your dining room. If you see this thread, would you mind posting a photo of one of your dining room windows to show how they were trimmed out at the bottom? The photo that I saw in your other thread does not show the bottom half. I actually need to know how to trim out the bottom for another room...not my dining room. We have the same window trim and I would like panels at the bottom for my bedroom windows. BTW - Have you been happy with your darker dining room walls? We are building and are thinking of using a similar color to your BM Bucktrout. Friends and family keep telling me that the walls will be too dark for the dining room. We will have Pure White wainscoting all around the room, plus 4 large windows, so I think those touches will lighten up the room enough....See Morebusybee3
