<div class="bbWrapper">I recently had to battle some new caterpillars on my lettuce so I purchased a bottle of Bacillus Thuringiensis that needed to be diluted. Once diluted it says to use the mixture in 24 hours but it made waaaay more than I needed. I can’t dump it down the drain and I can’t use it up so what do I do with it now? Any idea how I am supposed to safely dispose?</div>

<p>I'm new to aquaponics and new to gardening in general. I planted some cherry tomatoes in my system about a month ago. The plants look good and healthy and are about 2 feet tall. There are no flowers yet and I don't see anything that looks like it will become a flower. I need some help/advice. </p>

<p>I am a newbie when it comes about growing marijuana inside. And i saw this <a href="https://www.worldwide-marijuana-seeds.com/collections/seedsman-marijuana-seeds">https://www.worldwide-marijuana-seeds.com/collections/seedsman-marijuana-seeds</a> that maybe i can plant this inside the house but it is way too expensive than buying it outside. But i think as a starter it would be expensive but if this grows it will lessen the cost. Am i right about this? Appreciated for the reply. Thanks.</p>

<p>All,</p>
<p>I have an issue in the DWC portion of my AP system - 200 gallon with 4 - 3x3 media beds and 1 - 12x4 DWC trough. The lettuce is getting the yellow/brown discoloration on some of the mature leaves. See attached pictures. Just trying to properly identify it and come up with a good organic AP remedy. Thanks - Daryl…</p>

<p>Dear Friends,</p>
<p>I got my system (Aqua Abundance, 2 media and 1 DWC, with a 500 gallon fish tank) eight months ago. I believe it is fully cycled because the ammonia is a 0.5 ppm, the nitrite is at 0.0 and the nitrate is over 160 ppm. I add a tablespoon of iron every month or two and I add a tablespoon of micronutrients at about the same rate. The pH has stabilized at 7.4 according to a gauge I bought and calibrated to a known pH level of 4.0. The test chemicals I got from The Aquaponics…</p>
<p>Dear Friends,</p>
<p>I got my system (Aqua Abundance, 2 media and 1 DWC, with a 500 gallon fish tank) eight months ago. I believe it is fully cycled because the ammonia is a 0.5 ppm, the nitrite is at 0.0 and the nitrate is over 160 ppm. I add a tablespoon of iron every month or two and I add a tablespoon of micronutrients at about the same rate. The pH has stabilized at 7.4 according to a gauge I bought and calibrated to a known pH level of 4.0. The test chemicals I got from The Aquaponics Source shows the pH to be stable at 6.8. Everything was going fine until I closed up my 24 foot diameter geodesic dome because of cold temperatures. I am in the process of buying a CO2 meter but I think I may have a problem. The leaves are yellow, dry, and withered. I don't see any aphids and I have looked closely and I know what they look like from other outdoor plants last summer.</p>
<p>I have attached some pictures below.</p>
<p>I am looking for hints as to the cause and possible cures for my problem.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>Has anyone tried growing bamboo in their system?</p>
<p>We've recently moved and I've had to scale down my lighting which has limited what I can can grow. My fish are producing more waste than what my plants can clean so I was thinking about trying bamboo since it likes lots of water and low light.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>I recently planted cucumbers in our media bed in a passive solar greenhouse and the they are not doing well and the leaves are turning yellow-brown. This would indicate cucumber mosaic virus in a regular garden but I am new to aquaponics so not sure if that happens. Does anyone have any answers or fixes? Thanks...</p>
