Hi all, Two days ago I came home to find part of my plant with a lot of seared leaves. I thought it was lack of water so I gave some. The other day the situation got worse, so I remove the mulch and found that one of the stems had a hole in it!! The pictures are not great, but you can have...

Hy all. Sorry for the repeating subject, but I can use a little help. Last sunday I made my first batch. A Pale Ale kit (all grain) that I bought from my supplier. My OG was 1.048 which seems good. On monday morning, about 12h after yeast pitching the airlock was bubbling very good. It...
