A couple questions for you plant gurus out there..

I planted yellow squash in early july in both my hydroponic and aquaponic systems. Neither system has produced anything? Whats up with that? Did I plant it at the wrong time?

My zucchini squash are starting to make now, but they have small mite looking things all over then and are getting eaten up. If I spray tobacco juice/tea on them will this affect the bacteria or fish?

What can I plant in my system now? I am in the us, zone 8.

Must be a nutrient problem?

Nope, no flowers, until just the last couple weeks as the weather has cooled. I know the hydroponic system all the nutrients, so it must be a weather related issue or the time of year that I planted them. :shrug:

dont know about the fish, but be careful with the ciggie tea ;)

many people dont know how dangerous (or readily absorbed through the skin) nicotine is.

we only get about 1% of the content by smoking it, most of it actually burning, but in solution it can be absorbed easily and 40mg can be leathal.

(for reference tobacco contains between 1% and 3%)

so a strong tea made from it could contain a lethal dose at only two grams.
