EasyNamestarted grow question 6y ago
Theres a pond near me(man made) with carp in it, Its connected to a stream which goes through the woods. Is there a way I could test the water if its safe, mabey some testing kit?
Btw, the stream water looks nice and clean/clear, tho the pond is kinda brown from the dirt i guess.

Hello
If the pond is fed by a stream it can be used. You would preferably want to filter it and you would probably want to take a water sample to test for contaminants and any problems that might arise. You can contact your local office and they could probably do it for you or point you in the right direction. Otherwise I've seen water tests at local garden/feed center, especially one who sells fish. You also have to consider that many ponds do get algae, so you might get some algae buildup.
But how did people grow plants before indoor plumbing and irrigation? If anything test on one plant first before using on all plants.

it's the inconsistencies that might get ya from time to time... pH and whatever else someone tossed into it upstream, lol. Any major farms nearby? could be loaded with anything and your eye cannot see such things.
a water test would set your mind at ease.. not sure if that's cost-effective... trial and error with a practice plant may be a better route to go.
pH, concentration and ratios of what you give the plant -- one way or another -- have to be within some nominal range for it all to work well. Whether organice, hydro or whatever, that remains true.

2 seedlings grew in a pot, they have different story, which one to keep? Original Gorilla Auto seedling was pulled out by a bird and then I placed it back, but it was traumatized and struggling.
I planted the last seed that came nicer and is growing.
Is it worth to remove the traumatised one and keep just the newer?
Thanks

Should I harvest the seed or let it stay?Is this seed ready to be plucked or is it still maturing and building up potential energy? Do seeds continue to grow after calyx split, even though they seem mature? Will it grow in size further and darker or is it dormant already? Should I save the banana for future pollination?
