And I wonder if this is an symptomatically infected plant. There is no reason why these plants should be so different in height. I checked the irrigation hoses regularly and all my plants were getting the same amount of water and fertilizer. I will ask Peter if there is a possible way to verify the presence of a pathogen.

Jeez its been a while since I made an entry. The damage to my peppers has been halted with the use of the biological agents.

My Primulas are opening!! So far I have only lost one and it was due to moisture stress. I wanted to observe how well this plant reacted to lack of moisture and how well it rebounded compared to the pot mums I grew. Primulas will stabilize if given moisture (I did only lose one plant!), but will not fill back out. Leaves that wilt dry out, they don't rehydrate like pot mums.
Anyhow, this is what it is all about

WEIRD!!!
Ok, so up until yesterday I thought I had learned all I needed to know about what to watch out for in a greenhouse crop. As a budding Olds College graduate I know to keep a keen watch not only for problems with insects and disease (biotic and abiotic!), but also the factors that encourage them. From my previous education at the University of Alberta I gained deeper knowledge of issues like water stress and nutrient deficiencies or toxicities.
I pose to you, Olds College, indeed, anyone,
What am I supposed to do with this?!?
Actually this is Brendan's Gerber Daisy.
What is Brendan supposed to do with this?
WHAT?!?!
Hmmm.....Horticultural Freakshow?

Well, it seems that all of my pot mums have been taken for sale. They do look good, but they seem a bit top heavy. I thought they would be more compact. And take a look at the offshoot there on the bottom. I want to look into what caused that, and how it can be avoided in the future.
My hypothesis is that I should have pinched more often, but I was afraid of stunting the plant.
