<p>I wouldn't say it's all about lies. I think it just has a greater learning curve. I can remember when I first got into gardening in dirt, I thought it was so simple until one hornworm totally devastated my tomato plants. I didn't know what a hornworm was and we didn't have the luxury of the internet for the answers. I can think of many times wanting to give it all up.

I'm not sure why I didn't other than the fact that I can say I grew that. My aquaponics tank is in my basement and last Christmas, I enjoyed fresh stringbeans and lettuce out of my growbeds. I have a small setup so this year, I will be eating stringbeans, lettuce and cucumbers. This summer, I plan on a nice greenhouse attached to the southern side of my house with at least 5' of it in the ground. I'm always up to a good challenge and so far, this hobby has not been boring. This aquaponics community has a great bunch of people with far more experience than me..I love aquaponics.

<p>I am in no way a plant expert but when I made adjustments in the past the leaves seemed to come back. I would say if other leaves are doing well and some are still peaked looking I'd take em off to keep from wasting nutrients.</p>

<p>Hi</p>
<p>I want to thank you all for the great info and videos. I wanted to update you. The videos were great and that free key wasn't free unless you bought something with it. I paid .99 for it.

<p>Sure thing Jack. Happy to help. There is a search field (white rectangle) in the extreme upper right hand corner of your screen. It's to the right of your name and to the left of the little magnifying glass icon. It's a great tool, as there is very little that hasn't already been covered (in depth at times) at some time.</p>

<p>Sure thing Jack. Happy to help. There is a search field (white rectangle) in the extreme upper right hand corner of your screen. It's to the right of your name and to the left of the little magnifying glass icon. It's a great tool, as there is very little that hasn't already been covered (in depth at times) at some time.</p>
<p>Magnesium (Mg) deficiencies are generally characterized by inter-venal chlorosis of the older leaves (never the youngest ones, that would be an iron [Fe] deficiency). Mg is mobiole within the plant, so when not enough is present in solution the plant can translocate Mg from it's old growth to the new growth. That is why an Mg deficiency makes itself manifest on older leaves and not young new ones. Fe on the other hand is NOT mobile within the plant, so when it is lacking in solution it will start to show on the youngest leaves.</p>
<p>The very first signs of a potassium (K) deficiency usually makes itself manifest visually by a yellowing (chlorotic) leaf margin. If allowed to progress the leaf margin margin becomes necrotic (brown and dead) while the inter-venal area begins to become effected as well, spreading towards the main veins towards the center of the leaf. Eventually, the entire leaf will die if you don't mitigate the deficiency. </p>
<p>Yes, you can treat both simultaneously.</p>
<p>Instrumentation to check for Mg or K (potassium) can be rather expensive ($200 for the K checker), and the instruments readable range(s) may not be well suited for AP purposes.</p>
<p>Cucurbits (like cucumbers, squash, zucchini) are absolute Mg and K hogs, And new AP systems are often notoriously lacking in K, and depending on your source water, Mg. So you cucumber problem is actually quite a common one. </p>

<p>Hi you guys. Thanks for the info. Vlad , you had said that I should look into the possibility of a potassium deficiency. How can I tell the difference between Magnesium deficiency and a potassium deficiency. I went on youtube to try to get answers and I'm still not sure. Can I treat for both and is there a way to easily test my water in the FT for these elements? Ho do you guys find these old threads on this site Is there a search engine for that?</p>
