If you turn off a few of Microsoft’s more insane tracking in the privacy settings, it disables the autosave “feature”. The autosave fucked up version tracking badly enough that it was nice to have a global kill button.
I have found that turning off most new “features” that Microsoft makes recently is usually for the best.
Leaves curling up plus sunscald on the fruit.
You either moved it to a sunnier spot than it was used to or the temperature lately has been hotter than it is acclimatized to.
Quick clarification.
BER is always caused by a calcium deficiency at the growing point.
This can be caused by 3 things: insufficient translocation of calcium from the roots to the growing point, lack of calcium in the soil solution, or calcium unavailable for other reasons.
Insufficient translocation: The most common cause of the disorder. A few different causes are possible: irregular watering, rapid temperature changes, sucking insects, or any damage to the root syatem (fungus, bacteria, insects etc.) It can also be genetically related for example the old OP Roma are notorious for it.
Calcium unavailable in the soil. This usually is related to pH. If the soil pH is above 8.5 or below 6.5 the plant can’t take it up. Calcium like all other nutrients can also be temporarily locked up in the microbial community with high amounts of organic matter being broken down.
Lack of calcium in the soil solution. This is pretty rare for most gardens and the least likely culprit. Its the easiest to fix however so this is generally where most people start.
Rainbow Trout are very sensitive to dissolved oxygen content and temp. The kill temp for rainbow trout is only 77F(25C). I fear the water return from the greenhouse in the summer may be warmer than that. How do you plan on mitigating the temp?
Honestly Talipa may easier to raise. Pond heaters are relatively inexpensive versus chillers.
Of course catfish with their extreme survivability were popular a long time ago with aquaponics.
It’s a severe nutritional deficiency not a fungus or bacteria.
The interveinal chlorosis is the giveaway. Pathogens attack randomly all over the plant. The most common foliar diseases also have a different pattern. Look up downy mildew, angular leaf spot, or powdery mildew and you’ll see what I mean. You might have a few spots of powdery in there. Powdery is really easy to control with a spray of diluted milk.
Since it’s all over the plant, magnesium is the likely culprit but other nutrients deficiencies are present.
As a parent two sons who have moved on from the Lego stage to the driving and girls stage…
Bahahahahahahahahahaha!!!.
No more shuffle walking around the house for me!!
By default I always turn off the location setting on the camera. I disabled it as soon as they introduced it as a “feature”. I thought it was creepy as fuck and dangerous. Without the location most of the rest of the information is pretty benign.
For example her is the full metadata from a picture I took yesterday.

The only thing they would get is the model of phone I use. Which is essentially public information for every app maker I have installed on my phone anyways.
What are you fertilizing with?
That is the fruit and the yellow color indicates it might be in the process of being aborted. This happens for numerous reasons like insufficiently pollination etc.
That’s pretty normal for peppers. They take forever for the first fruit to be ready. Then a month later you are drowning in them.
Peppers also require large amounts of nutrients once they get going. Like 4x the amount of sweet corn…
For the fungus gnats in the soil apply BTi. This is the bacteria found in mosquito dunks used in ponds etc. it kills the larvae
This is a really good example of how nutrient deficiencies can occur.
If you look at the parsley you can see the cotyledons turning reddish and the true leaves are lime green. This is the beginning of nitrogen deficiency.
What is causing the nitrogen deficiency - the fungus using all available N to break down organic matter in the potting soil.
The solution, add in some more nitrogen to get the plants going and allow the fungus breakdown the organic matter faster. The after a few months when the organic matter is decomposed, the nutrients locked up in the fungus will be released for the plant to use.

Since generalist predators control them planting a pollinator/predator flower blend is recommended. These are nectar producing species in a collection that blooms all year long.
This will attract and give habitat for the generalist predators. It works pretty well. Since I turned my front flowerbed into one I almost never seen aphids on my roses anymore.
My newest computer is 5 years old. I see no reason to upgrade anything.
I use my 11 year old laptop with Linux mint on it as well. I maxed out the RAM on it and swapped in a Sata SSD, it boots in under 40 seconds and does everything I need it to do. It’s one of those cheap underpowered Celeron processors as well.
Carrots, onions, and other biannial plants will sometimes behave as an annual. It’s usually caused by a genetic mutant but it can be environmentally triggered.
In the wild they naturally are a mixed of annual and biannual plants depending on the growing conditions.
Aphids and other sucking insects can cause leaves to roll. Look for them on the underside of the leaves.
Fo there are no bugs or signs of damage it’s probably physiological leaf roll.

Pepper seeds begin to mature when the pod turns color. Green peppers are immature peppers and the seeds are not viable. Red or yellow, the seeds may be viable.
The largest issue with using store bought fruit is the seeds need to be treated with TSP (Trisodium phosphate) when they are harvested. This treatment kills tobacco mosaic virus. TMV and other tobamovisues are common in production areas.
The plants will also be a segregating F2 plant. So the fruit/plant will look a little different from the parent (F1). Not a big deal in my opinion.
If you pop the plant up and look at its roots right now you’d answer your own questions. Cucumbers roots grow very rapidly at that stage. They are all over that pot chasing nutrients. If it is a nutrients issue, it’s from that potting soil.
I had one I planted not come up the first year.
The second year it sent up a small shoot.
The third year it sent up 4 shoots but 3 of them were smashed by my older sons basketball.
The 4th year it grew 5 shoots.
It finally bloomed for the first time on the firth year
6 years later it’s a large bush with tons of flowers.

That is dead on average for closed cavity cantaloupe.
Some of the galia types would have a cavity of 30% smaller.
