<p>So, besides Maxicrop with Iron, what are some other supplements people are using, how often and where do you purchase them from? weekly doses? Only when signs of problems? Any of these organic or are their some choices? Specifically, potassium and calcium as those seem to be the most common.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've heard that marble chips work good for calcium and they can be removed or added as needed. Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>Manual control is probably the best you can do right now, just put on some garden gloves and SQUEEZE every single leaf with the trails, you should squish the little worm that is eating the plant from the inside out. Most soil gardeners recommend keeping the plants covered to protect them from insects until it is time to pollinate.</p>

<p>I think squishing the worms until the plants are healthy enough to just deal with the miners :) my soil cucumber plants are about 5 feet high and have tons of OLD miner trials throughout the leaves. I probably lose 1 leaf a month from the miners. </p>
<p>The damage looks alot worse than it really is to the plant :)</p>

<p>I can finally help someone!! those are leaf miners :) the parents lay these eggs and the miners hatch and live within the plants leaf. being that your plants are young it could possibly be to late for them, lots of folks say to just cut off the infected leaves. But you cant because your plants are so young. My older cucumbers can withstand the damage.</p>

<p>They have some organic spray you can use, but I do not know if it is safe for aquaponic systems.</p>

<p>Can you tell me what I'm looking at: These are pole beans Also happening on my wee cucumber sprouts (far right). Added maxicrop with iron (about a capful for 40 gallon tank - 8 cat fish fingerlngs). pH is about 6.2. Little low, I know. Going to search for oyster shells. How clean do these need to be?
