I did it! made 2 bloom.

[No-Pro-mwa]

Ok so my hirtzii bloomed and I was so so happy. I also got my Ken Dole to bloom but not well and the second bloom that was coming on the same spike dried up.

I am having some problems with all of my Masd's. All new growth is smaller than old growth and they have black spots on the tips of the leaves. Then turn yellow and fall off. I am sure it is not to much fert as when it started I was not really fertilizing as I was to busy. I gave them some Epsom salts with gypsum and I thought they got a bit better.

I'm not really sure if I am watering enough still trying to figure them out. Also there is green algae on top of them.

I was using Ro water this winter but have only been using rain water all summer. I have a humidifier over the top of them running 24 hours a day. I was putting colidal silver in it to keep algae from growing in there. I have stoped using it and they seem to be a bit better. could this be the problem.

Temperature has been good I think they have never gotten over 75 degrees all summer and mostly in the 60's. It has been a cool summer and humidity I try and keep in the 70's. Also very first thing in the morning they were getting sun for maybe at the most 2 hours. Not sure I think it was from 5:00 to maybe 7:00 or 7:30, it has now changed and is not on them direct.

I have pictures of my hirtzii in bloom and you can see the black and yellow just starting. I will try and get more pictures.
