Maybe too much light?

Angela, please will you take a picture of the poplars. I have always wondered what they look like. I often buy tulip poplar timber to make drawer cases at the workshop.

um..unless that was a cloudy day, my hall closet is brighter.. That is not the issue.

Twas a cloudy day and a baaaad phone camera.

I will make an attempt to take a photo of the poplars, but they're somewhere between 30-40' trees. Did I mention that I'm afraid of
heights? I think Rick in TN posted a photo of a flower last spring.
Our rafter/beam ceiling is tulip poplar and it's beautiful...so many
pictures for the imagination in the colors and grain.

30-40' tall trees scare you? Just to photograph them?
oke

No buffers...just plain Orchiata...different sizes for large or small plants.


Oh, the pH coming out of the pot is pretty much neutral. I check it about
once a month or so.

Orchiata comes "pre-buffered" because of their lime composting system.

Yes if pH is coming out at 7 that is probably too high for good adsorption of P and Fe. Both would be much better utilized around 5.5-6.0

Lance, the trees don't scare me, but trying to take a photo with a Galaxy S4 scares me a
bit.

Gary, a photo is on the way, but it's going to be hard to tell one tree from
another back here in the woods. I also took a photo of the bark and will
send that one if my computer agrees.

Rick, the run through is usually very slightly +- 6.0.

most light meters have a function that changes the 'scale' by a factor of 10, 100 and 1000. Take a photo of the light meter in position in the GH - that'll help.

Thanks for remembering Angela

This same tree is just starting to bloom now. So far not as good as last year, but it had single digit temps to contend with this past winter.

Much better photo than I sent to Gary. Our
blooms are starting to fall and the blossom probably fell 30' feet and was quite faded.

Thank you for re-posting.
