successful, Mom and Dad find themselves distracted and in conflict with each other. That leaves the child free to disregard the first parent’s decision. To combat the Divide and Conquer
strategy, you need to communicate. Find out if there has been an initial answer given to your child’s request. If the other parent has already responded, it is best to
let the first answer hold. If you find that the two of you are continually disagreeing, it would be best to simply address your child’s request by saying, “Your Dad
and I will have to talk about it.” It is always good to have a united front or, as I like to say, to be singing off the same songsheet.

Reports of a serious amount of corn planted in central and southern Illinois, and at least a sprinkling of acres planted in Indiana before the first official day of Spring has some people scratching their heads. Try to explain that to your grandfather or great-grandfather! Emerson Nafziger at the University
of Illinois says it may mean this is an educational season because he can't remember this much corn planted so early. He also says that in all test results he can find, corn planted the last week of April typically slightly out yields corn planted in late March of early
April. Other universities have shown similar data. However, Nafziger acknowledges it depends upon the weather conditions that come after planting and the year itself. Here's what we think is often left out of the equation, especially for farmers with large acreages to plant. While the data is what it is
for late-April being an ideal planting time in the central Midwest, few people add this caveat. What if soil conditions are right now, and temperatures are right now, but it's too wet or too cool to plant the last week of April? What if the last week of April becomes
the first week of May? During the past two seasons in much of Indiana, for example, the last week of April became the last week of May or the first two weeks of June. One could argue that the proper comparison ought to be not the first of April planting
vs. the last of April, but the first of April planting vs. planting the last week of May? Which corn is likely to yield more? Most university data and data form several seed companies, including Beck's Hybrids through their Practical Farm Research Demonstration plots, would say that anything planted in
April has a higher percentage of yielding more than corn planted the last week of May. Given that logic, who can blame someone who has watched their planter sit for four weeks straight in May for the past two years if they want to get some crop in the ground
now? Of course if fair weather continues or if the last week of April is ideal, and you could guarantee that, it would make a difference. Farming doesn't come with guarantees. Ken Scheeringa, an assistant climatologist at Purdue University, says warmer than normal weather is likely through April, although it
may not be as extreme on the warm side as in March, as compared to normal. Rainfall is more of a fuzzy call. The real issue is that May and June aren't on the radar screen yet. Some who have ventured out into May still call for a cool, wet
spring. So is it wise or foolish to have corn planted now? It's your decision, and your money. For our money, it's a gamble either way. Perhaps experts should talk in terms of calculated risks and explain what-if scenarios when they lay out planting date options.

DWC is prone to Root Rot, always due to low DO*Altitude play an important role in how much DO a solution can carry. If you reduce your nute loads, your solution can carry more DO. If you live in Denver, you may have a problem indoor growing with any temps
above 65ºf If you check out Roseypanties experiment, you will see he had much better result using a reduced nute load. There were two positive effects on the plants, that were grown using the reduced nute load. The first good thing that happened was, his DO increased, due to the
reduced salinity, of his nutrient solution. Second, osmotic pressure was reduced in the rhyzome, allowing the plant to take in more H2o and thus grow faster. What does this second statement really mean? Take your hand, and leave it in salt water for an hour. Your skin wrinkles,... why? Because
the salt has caused the osmotic pressure on the outdside of your skin to be higher than the pressure inside your skin, and as the water in your hand is sucked out through your skin, your hand actually shrinks from the loss of fluid and the skin becomes loose It
is harder for your plant to uptake water and nutrients when you use high nute loads, because the salt creates negative osmotic pressure (hypertonicity) against the semipermeable membrane of the root cell walls. Here is the Wiki "scientific answer". Osmotic pressure is the hydrostatic pressure produced by a solution in
