I survived a blood chemical imbalance today.
Just got back from the ER, first thing I did was check my sprouts.
They and I agree, it’s good to be above ground.

Thanks, not exactly.
Potassium loss(hypokalemia) has a range in healthy people of 3.6 to 5.2 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). A very low potassium level (less than 2.5 mmol/L, 2.5 is my level) can be life-threatening. I’m a recovering heart patient and my level is supposed to be nearer 6.0. Diuretics are a common cause, however I’m not on one atm. I’m hoping my dr. gets back to me soon with some answers.
Now I know what my hydro plants must’ve felt like w/nutrient lock out back when I dabbled with hydro!

I know people on dialysis often have low potassium and it really messes them up, hopefully you can just change your diet or something to fix it

Hey Muleskinner,
Got the report back from the doc, said I had an acute deficiency, which means some event occurred that dropped the levels, not chronic.
So it’s back for more tests next week.
The only event that comes to mind is my workout regimen. I go through an hour workout each day in sweat city. The Mayo clinic says it is a common cause. Just my luck, no good deed goes unpunished.
Anyway thanks for the chat, I’m hoping to post about a radical method for seed sprouting soon, I’d like your take on it.

Only 2:30 and I’ve already had an hour long business call to my client in France, dug out weeds from my veggie patch. Amended and mulched 30ft of soil and started some beef stew in the crock pot. I got all Julia Childs with it this time and added some red wine. Can’t wait to test it out tonight. The rest of the day I’m dedicating to a little work and some Netflix.
Happy Saturday, Friends!

So do cantaloupes, fetal brain matter is enhanced if eaten during pregnancy. My wife couldn’t eat anything but when she was pregnant, turns out my kid’s a real braniac. At least he tells us so all the time.

yes. the average is 3. I have put 5 or 6 in one spot. The trick is to have a longer clone that is stripped almost to the top and than cut the leaves perpendicular. Make sure no leaf is touching the lid. When placing 5 o 6 per hole you must remove them when the roots start to grow, if not the roots can grow together making it impossible to separate them.
