@Lerome, The ones that live in the substrate. I fed mine an occasional dessert consisting of a vegetable and fruit, thinking "what else are they going to eat?". Exactly, I have the same type of worms, red wigglers. Ah that's where I went wrong. I didn't concentrate on feeding the fungi and bacterias. I'll read up more about vermicultures and vermicomposting. Nah, the PH was on key the entire time. The leaf burning issue was narrowed down to an excess of potassium (K) due to the worm castings and all the desserts I was feeding the worms. Without realizing the living soil was providing the plant with more nutrients it could handle, she was given BioBloom (P + K) with her feedings... as you can tell, she didn't like that.

@Spike_KCanG, hey bud, im not sure if i get your question right, are you talking about a worm bin or about those worms that live in the substrate? What are you feeding your worms with? The worms in my substrate are doing alright, im not actively feeding them they got to eat whats left there + some small leaves that i dont pick up from the soil surface. The types of worms im using are mainly feeding on bacteria and fungi or food that has been pre-composed by those, so what im doing is not feeding my plants nor the worms, but feeding the bacteria and fungi living in the soil. Im having the feeling that your issue could be from a fluctuating pH since youre using an agent to control your pH which is in my opinion not needed in living soil. Living soil can regulate its pH on its own through the microorganisms and ion exchangement but you gotta have the right amount of basic ions from calcium and magnesium for that to be possible to happen, so i think what you may be having is a magnesium deficiency. I would recommend mixing a good amount of ultra fine basalt powder into your substrate to act as a pH buffer/regulator through the supplied ions.

After a few conversations with a couple of community members, the nutrient problem was narrowed down to being an excess of Potassium (K). The red wrigglers and microorganisms supplied the soil with more than enough K before she was flipped, and she burned because of that. Upon flipping her, I started her on BioBloom (P + K) and that enhanced the problem to its current state. -------------------------------------------------- Objective: 1. reduce the amount of K in the soil, without disturbing the organic life 2. return the plant back to a neutral and healthy state before the bloom is affected too badly 3. let the organic life do it's thing and see if that alone provides the necessary P and K -------------------------------------------------- Solution: 1. read MORE about vermicomposting and vermiculture 😂 2. soil - WIll NOT flush the soil but, remove BioBloom from her next feedings. After seven days it should be clear if there is still enough K in the soil or not. After 14 days, it should be clearer. 3. worms - stop actively feeding the worms fruits/vegetables. The next two weeks, they will get a nutrient neutral diet of shredded cardboard IF they appear hungry. Wish me luck!

Hey bud. How are your worms holding out? Did you any affects during growth that were worm related? I'm having quite the trouble balancing out my nutrients because the worms/wormfood is quite difficult to get under control.

@Spike_KCanG, exactly 😇😇😇😇

@valiotoro, yeah yeah.. "I smoke sometimes, a lot everyday" kinda thing huh? 😂

@Spike_KCanG, 😂😂this is the last time i promise🙏Until next week 👹👹👹👹

What?? Another beautiful purple sticky-icky hidden from the community??? Like incoming.. again.

It's got a f'in Watermelon Head! 😱 And I 2nd Spike 😱. Wtf dude ...... 😂😂😂🔥🔥🤘😻

@Papa_T, Likewise bud 😁😁😁 ....every time the tent opens.

Hahaha ROOTS BLOODY ROOTS!!! Every time I see that I can’t help but jam out to that song by Sepultura.
