Please Help Identify What's Plaguing Seedlings
Comments (5)Hey all, I'm still not sure what the diagnosis is/was. I did remove the affected leaves before our trip and watered well. The lights were on a timer for 16 hours a day while we were gone and the plants look healthier now that we're back. Maybe I should go on vacation more often lol. Susan, thanks for the reply. You could be correct, I just don't know. But I wouldn't think fish emulsion at half strength would burn them. I did not have a chance to try the miracle grow before I left in case it was that they weren't getting enough nutrients. Now that we're back I've repotted most of them today and will try miracle grow or something of that nature next to see how they respond. Again this is my first attempt at this so maybe I am wrong, but they do seem small to me for 8 week old plants. Of course letting them dry out too much set them back I'm sure. They also were moved out into the greenhouse a couple of days ago and they also seem "perkier" in the cooler temps since doing so. Again as a first timer I'm not sure if this was a smart thing to do or not but I need to make room on the indoor light rack for some ornamental seeds. I've observed daytime winter temps in there up to 85 and nighttime usually stays 40-50 with the wood stove on below freezing nights. The sunlight does concern me though so I'll have to monitor them.....I have not yet set up any supplemental lighting out there and this time of year the daylight may not be sufficient to keep them growing well....See MorePlease help ID!

Comments (9)I responded to your posting in another forum. Here are my thoughts. There is not one of those critters in focus, so it is difficult to do anything but speculate on what kind of insect they might be. Can't see a head, can't see the top of one of the little things. They do appear to be one of the true bugs, but perhaps a weevil of some sort. The other thing we have to ask ourselves is what these insects might be doing where you found them. Plant bugs are not going to be found in a setting where there are no plants. Insects that predate on other insects are going to located somewhere close to their food source. Insects that feed on animals, seed, wood, etc, are going to be near those sources. If these insects seem to be consentrated in the same areas as your chickens, I would absolutely take some insect samples to your vet, as I suggested before. Inspect your feed, too. Try taking and sending more images, and I'm sure that would help....See MoreIndecisive me needs help with a big decision
Comments (21)Thanks for asking! Part of why I had a hard time is because I didn’t love it either the options-I really wanted bluestone and we couldn’t find manufacturer who made it.Luckily, I mention this to one of the companies and they were just about to release a blue stone option. I love it! This is from Tile Tech Pavers....See MoreIndecisive and Need Help about Patio Furniture & Grey Wash Teak
