@aquadude15 The issues you are experiencing transcends fertilizer problems. Do yourself a favour and read through this thread holistically and the answers you seek are very much within your grasp. Nevertheless, I still stand by my words, your cukes from the first pics you sent are are far too gone. Don't let one I too know first time cucumber farmer whose farm is already on its way to hitting the rocks give you false hopes. Spray the fungicides/insecticides all you like, bring in your NPK 15,15,15 (which obviously is a bad choice, Haba!!!), I doubt it would save your cukes. Well, I hate to sound like an angel of doom, maybe if I see a bigger picture of the farm, I'll change my mind. Note: Starting afresh isn't words of discouragement. I have been their, you don't want to know how times I have had to hit the restart button. Even the great Pistotita knows when to walk away from a failed project and restart. I guess, your Mr. I know it all first time farmer never knew Mr. Okoro also experiences failed projects sometimes. No one is perfect. |

jidestroud:I had failed projects too. I stopped one yesterday. I am a person who buys nutrients and fertilizer in bulk. I have not been to open field on 1 acre and above for over a year. But I opened my personal 2.5 ha just to start with 4 plots and see if I should proceed. I bought 15 bags (of course I can never used them all for this cycle) of granules and powder to use as basal the way I described in this thread. Then, I have fungicides, pesticides, and other foliar nutrients ready. I was about moving in fertigation fertilizer bags when I was phoned to come to farm. On getting there, all my fertilizer bags were gone. 30% chemicals gone, but they are special ones. They left the funguforce, mancozeb and the likes of cypermethrin, laraforce, etc. The farm is around Mowe side. I that just arrived from a trip with these new wahalas. I just smiled. I opened my wallet, brought my atm and showed the remaining boys that I am going to ATM to compensate them and bye bye. But cos I made an agreemnent of 10% sales with the guy who brought these guys, when he heard, he ran mad. I don't have the strength to start looking for useless boys who took my stuff. I do not want anything to stress me. I just said, ok....I am watching. The way 5 bags out of 15 were returned after 2.5 hours was funny. Where are the rest? Where are my chemicals? I looked at the guy who got them for me and told him that none of these boys know how to use the special chemicals and i do not understand why they will want them. He started saying many lies. I looked at him and I just said it is fine. Inside me, the project is over, but let me wait till tomorrow and get more of my things they said they will return today. And that was someone who worked with me very well in the past. If you do not have reliable workers and you cannot monitor the project yourself from A to Z, forget it. It is why I do not step on farms of anyone who i am helping if the person is not well known. Cos if I do, the blame will still be on me. I will never step on an acquitance's farm. Never! And if you tackle workers too much (especially those with experience) even you are there, they will destroy your job. It is hard to not have an experienced guy there if you cannot lift heavy stuff or if you are not strong to do hard labor. Many people with money cannot. They cannot weed themselves. So, the strategy is to go with your drip, fertigation, nets and mulch. Another one I added is powered sprayer. At least have a powered sprayer (with battery or gas) only you will operate. Play along with them when they are making beds till they installed stakes. Never sow one seed if stakes are not erected. Never do it. Then after, get money to pay people who will prune. No weeding, no application of ferilizer again....nothing. Only you, even you are a timid lady will handle it. Pay harvesters. But these people telling you to go and use hoes, watch them. You cannot stand their toughness. And most times, they do not have the kind of activities that keep you away from farm. They cannot even spend like you. They are hustlers. When it comes to spraying and you cannot get help fast, carry your boot and mask (even you are 60 years), carry drinking water and go very early in the morning. It is very easy to spray with powered sprayer. If you have to carry just 5 liters in 20liters knapsack do it oooo. Just go steadily. With powered spray you move very fast and use very littlr chemicals and water. What manual sprays for 2 hours, you can use 30 to 60 mins with powered. Start around 6am and finish around 9 am before sun comes out. If not wait till after 5pm. Just go steadily but very fast. As you do it, and you had carried yourself well, new boys will show and tell you to leave it. Just give them manual sprayers inside and pay them. Collect their numbers. Na so me a dey do oooo. A need money, a don go hustle on farm. But i know I cannot do it at this time. So, bye bue to this project. It is a failed one before I sow seeds. I have an annoucement to make about my stay here. I will post it later tonight by the grace of God. But sir @ jidestroud, only God is great ooooooo. Lol. I am just a pencil in his hands. He can erase and delete me whenever He wishes. But I know that as long as I am in His will, He will write historical events for coming generations through me. Amen! |

aquadude15:I want to save a soul, but you have asked too many people for help. I prefer to stay out of it. Even you will see that all the comments of people and those he is abusing are helping him. As for the curved fruits you have been told the truth. If downy can affect your plants like that, put the whole beehives in this world in your farm, you will see what will happen. But when a farmer experiences curved fruits for his first harvest hahahahhahhhaha! My brother, if that farmer gives you nutritional advice, take off. There is no way you will get first fruits even in murano if your fruits are well fed. I repeat, no way. I hope you read where he said he has quickly fertilized his also. Whatever you do, just use your head on the farm. There are many things the man needs to learn, but he is not going to. Of course, he will harvest cukes if truly he has done the activities people pointed to him. I pointed those to him, or maybe someone else. And I am happy he did them fast. And if he didnt and he is just trying to synchronize everything, lol....that is his cup of tea. But if you as a newbie farmer open your 2 eyes, and your 2 ears are wide, you can smell with your two nostrils, and a farmer says his first cucumber murano harvest is curved to the extent of removing 2 bags . Ha! That is like 15 to 25 bags lost. When first harvest is when farmers truly say they harvest. His savior is that he is on a virgin land according to him. He will never harvest again if disease is there. But as long as disease is under control, he will just manage to survive. And if he scale thrpugh to like 50 to 300 bags, he will be boasting. Not knowing the kind of beast murano is which is a double edged sword. People failed with murano cos they do not know the trick. How dear you compare cu999 and murano? Let cu999 lacks water, you are in debt without knowing until your second sales. Buyers will just avoid you like a leper.You should start checking. Fellow nairalanders, just ask him to tell you the truth. He should tell you to take note of just 30 plants and tell you 1. How often he harvests on each plant (how many days interval?) 2. How many female flowers on only murano now? 3. How many males flowers on only murano now? 4. How many females start drying up? Let him tell you after every harvest. You will see. 5. How many female flowers after 6th, 7th and again 8th week? 6. How many male flowers after 6th, 7th and 8th week. 7. Estimated female flowers per plant that got burnt. You will see clearly why murano is a beast and why even he may make some small change which may be success to him, he is like 10 - 15% efficient. Tell him to be truthful to you. These questions are from long acquired experience. If he contradicts what I preached, go on trial and report here. Ha! I pity people who cannot interprete information on the internet. I pity people who cannot think deep. They will continue to be slaves of smart guys. Guys, ask him. I know his answers, beès are not enough since he has mixed cultivars. Let us leave it at that. Do the right thing and put murano at your backyard in the city, you will see enough butterflies. Na only bees dey pollinate where nature dey in the bush? My people perish cos of lack of knowledge. "I Too Know" (as dem dey call am now) perish cos of over sabi. Mark my words, if he survives this, just ask him after 6 months how far with his farm, he will give you a very good excuse. Na him be the first? And he will not be the last.Guys, do not correct him on his thread again. Let him carry his cross. You have assisted him enough. He is using all you are saying to his advantage and abusing you. It was why I stopped answering him cos I noticed he is a "use and dump" person. And that was why he ran mad. Lol. Guys just leave him alone. He may survive it. Na virgin land according to him na. We will see the future. Goodluck! Tonight, I will make my annoucement here. This will put a stop to the issue of scams, and my future with you will be revealed. |

Nairaland is quite a stage. I have a question for the op, so if you leave nairaland, who looses? You or nairaland? Sir humbly make use of this public forum wisely, a lot of people are watching your every move and your behavior hiding behind a moniker speaks volume of you in person. I’ve been reading and following your thread and counter thread. To me none of this is worth it. None of this will add a dime to your nickel and none of this will make you progress any further. But if you want to take a hike from nairaland let me be the first to tell you this, you ain’t gonna be missed! There are a lot of “nobody” here. I hope you get my drift. Edited In addition to my post I’ll advise you to stop making aspersions, if you’re remotely wron one of the fellows you’ve accused been a scammer isn’t or saying the mods support scammers and you can’t back it up, you’ll be sorry if they take it up with you. A lot of people have ended up behind bars because of baseless accusations, anyone can be found in Nigeria this isn’t some years ago when we were in a digital jungle. |

Life moves on, it revolves around everyone not just one person. |
| Re: 40 Cucumbers Per Plant And 12kg Tomatoes Per Plant by kunleweb: 10:40am On Feb 05, 2020 |
Life moves on. This should serve as a lesson to people who open themselves up to just about nayone to influence without knowing their objectives or knowing them keenly for a while. This should serve as a lesson for us all to be careful about how we give attention to people who go about painting people in bad light,or use character damaging tactics to ruin other people's image. Yes. We want a crime free Nigeria and an interactive forum that isn't discriminatory, but it shouldn't be to the extent of pulling people down to enthrone ourselves This isn't a mere event. One of the most toxic personality Nairaland has ever witnessed just got erased. So it's a big win for everyone that craves a saner, purer forum where people can interact freely without threats, attacks where even a first time farmer or user as necessary can grcae front page and people can conduct themselves without any character defamatory antics thrown at them R.I.P Pistotita |

Guys, abeg stop with this RIP stuff ...he is not dead (God forbid) he is fine and he will continue being fine RIP is not a jovial statement |

midnighter:All that transpired was an bause on my person and character. Between myself and Pistotita of which yesterday you claimed uninvolvement. Keep away from my story and narrative. I'm sure you'll be less restless if you stopped trolling me and sniffing my comments |

Liftitupo:I actually highlighted your comment to show how he only picks on my posts and antagonises me when somebody has openly accused him and he has nothing to say about it. I don't know what his problem is. How can you type RIP for somebody who is alive ![]() If he has been wrongly accused, he is owed an apology but he doesn't have the right to go about threatening and ranting at people. I opined that Pistotita should tread more carefully with these accusations to avoid being suppressed and he turned around attacked me too. You can see that everything was eventually deleted, even if he may have had a point. I reserve full judgement until he comes with conclusive proof and evidence. We don't know who is guilty and who isn't. We can only suspect until further notice. In sure he will be back, anyway. |

midnighter:R.I.P is rest in peace so basically he is deleted automatically means he is dead and offline in this forum and not in the real world is it bad to mourn a brother and a teacher? I dont think so, but as for him am sure he has taken a bow, to only come to this thread as a nobody and watch all our dicussions here like a ghost without saying anything but he has forgoten that a good course is what dying for, he should not have killed himself all because of proving a point he should have just stayed alive to see this pure evil come to an end then will you withness the true meaning of pure victory, rather than just commit suicide and die off like a chiken to me its all just R.I.P all the way because is just like the op is no longer here and the name pistotita will be gone forever but if another moniker that will be named pistotita2 pops up here in nairaland then am sure that will be a fake one and i wont be believing any thing he would be saying he is back again indeed this is truelly R.I.P, for he watches us from afar to see how we all are doing in this thread but it seems kunleweb and healthserve are alive and kicking well anyways you all are invited to the burial arangements of our dear op pistotita on the 19th of april 2020 when coming bring about your loved once and your farewell messages thank you |

Liftitupo:Personally I think it is pistotita using this moniker. I might be wrong but I am more than 90% sure Liftitupo = pistotita That being said, if you are not pistotita and just know him offline as you claim then the best you can do for pistotita is to convince him to get treatment for his mental problems. It is insanity for him to accuse anyone that disagree with him as being fraudulent. That is not a sane behaviour. It is also not a sane behaviour to be closed to corrections and throw punches at anyone who corrects him. Not knowing ones place is also not a sane behaviour, you can not come to a public forum and insult the forum owner, insult his moderators and insult forum users that you don't know and claim to be sane. I am the first to label him mad pistotita when he accused me from the blues, it was not meant to be an insult, it was fir him to look at the option of getting mental health evaluation and treatment. An option he refused to consider. Yesterday was a total mental meltdown display from him. It is just a pity. Honestly, I don't want to remember him. |
| Re: 40 Cucumbers Per Plant And 12kg Tomatoes Per Plant by midnighter(f): 8:16pm On Feb 05, 2020 |
Liftitupo:This is exactly the issue with people in this place. I'm telling you somebody attacked me; instead of you to ask for the thread link so you can read it for yourself and check if its an attack or not, you jumped to conclude that he could not have attacked me, just because you admire the guy. Does it make sense I think you can see that I am at least basically literate; am I suddenly unable to tell whether somebody has attacked me or not? Na wa. That's the story of Nigeria...as we have PDP and APC, so we now have Camp healthserve and Camp Pistotita. It's possible for somebody to be wrong, even if they are noble overall (Pistotita) and it's possible to be right at times even if you may be comprehensively dubious (healthserve). That's why this discussion needed nuance and discretion so that we could get to the point instead of all the shouting. Nobody is right or wrong, all the time. What I told him was that the multiple monikers allegation was not going to work because that particular behaviour is already entrenched on the forum. When it became blatantly obvious that the two monikers were not going to be deleted even when they were clearly shown to be the same person, he should have seen the writing on the wall and changed his approach. Publicly abusing almost everybody who was present was supposed to do what, exactly ![]() If he has evidence to come and we all don't know the full story, that means that all of us are talking out of context and our analyses are useless. Therefore there was no need to call our attention to it until the "cover-up" could be exposed. And believe me, something funny is happening. I personally witnessed where he wrote something important and it was deleted almost immediately. That's when I advised him to change his strategy, but no way. What was the point of all the insult and long statement He said he was focused and determined to keep everything on track but he actually made it worse with his behaviour. He told us that he knows diplomatic officials who have Nairaland accounts, but if diplomats bulldozed and rampaged everywhere the way he does, so many countries would be going to war by now. I'm sure he will be back, but to what particular end? Our passport is one of the most disrespected and disparaged documents in the world. This country is chaotic and dysfunctional. Extraordinary approaches are needed to find solutions and not blind swinging and slamming where the case is against you already. |
| Re: 40 Cucumbers Per Plant And 12kg Tomatoes Per Plant by Atlanticfire: 8:17pm On Feb 05, 2020 |
Liftitupo:It is not about winning, it is about being logical. Many people have multiple monikers on NL for several reasons. Picking on someone and showing that the person has another moniker does not translate into the person being a criminal. It might interest you to know that NL rules does not prohibit people from having multiple monikers, it only says you should not use alternate monikers to circumvent a ban. This is what the rule says. 19. Don't use alternate accounts to access Nairaland after being banned. If you do, make sure we don't find out. So pistotita going all out to prove that 1 member has multiple monikers was uncalled for. He made so much noise but he did not prove that the person broke any Nairaland rule. |
| Re: 40 Cucumbers Per Plant And 12kg Tomatoes Per Plant by midnighter(f): 8:36pm On Feb 05, 2020 |
my2chains:You are right about all that but all I'm telling you is that RIP is not what to say. At least we see how people just die needlessly in this country all the time so I don't think it's in good taste. It's your choice anyway. |
