joel is talking about the fert burn on the second pic in the background plants, looked cooked. small tip for your friend; NEVER grow in cornfields, the corn will finish alot earlier than the pot, leaving the pot the only green plant in the field. i used to wonder why all my plants kept being found, well when there are thousands of acres of brown corn & a helicopter flies over the pot stands out like a sore thumb!. just my 2cents.r
