envious eggplants

Thanks guys no secrets just make stand pipe a little shorter when plants get bigger I'm on cf

Rod,

I think you are right. We need to be more flexible with our designs.

My simple system normally runs F&D, but when the toms grow the roots slow it down so it becomes CF. I take the bell off or it becomes constantly empty, What I should do is put on a shorter stand pie, as my ginger has rotted with its toes permanently in water.

Good tip.

Thanks dr bee can you tell me how you get ginger started in your gb please is it simple as putting a piece of ginger just under the media?

I found some in the pantry that had started to shoot , so I put it just under the surface of the media. My first lot grew ell, but this latest lot got waterlogged, and the root growth all rotted. I shifted a bit of media and made a mound so it was above the water line, and it is growing again. Should have lowered the water table instead, would have been alot easier in hindsight....

Cheers mate will give it a go

its been awhile so here is a few pics of my two gbs
