Little bit of an educational post.
So I was refilling my water res and back up tanks the other night and decided to forget that I was filling them. Water hitting concrete reminds ya fast
In the fury of cleaning my mess I forgot that the water I brought in was cold as ice. Temps are low here and the run I have to the room is buried and insulated well beyond the frost line but it still has some exposure.
After finishing the cleanup I proceeded to water, and was not thinking. Fortunately only 2 pots got hit but it was enough to show the damage I’m about to share.
This is the type of tissue damage you’ll see if the water you use is too cold for the root zone. How did I isolate what this damage was? It was the only variable that changed in a very controlled environment. Also I allowed a few days to pass without doing a damn thing to see if it progressed. This is soo important when trying to figure out what happened or what’s happening.
