This article was written by a girl who saw live how they die from amphetamines and salt, and who miraculously survived... On our website there is a link to her topic on a third-party forum, in the starting article. It's called "Cry of the Soul."
I would like to supplement this article with a fact that Katya did not cover, but spoke about it in the topic. She lives in a small city with a population of about 50,000. So, 5-6 people die there WEEKLY, young people, from stimulants . And sometimes more. Often they bring 4-5 people to the department at once, with overdoses, and they all die together. That is, this is already 10-11 people a week.
Can you imagine the scale of the tragedy, people? This is just genocide...
Causes of rotting ovaries
Why do cucumber ovaries rot? There are many reasons, but the most common is fungal diseases , which appear if the soil and seeds are contaminated. The development of infection is provoked by improper care of plants, non-compliance with watering and air circulation.
Diseases
There are several types of fungal infections that affect the entire crop in a short period of time.
White rot
Sclerotinia, or white rot , completely destroys the plant . If the seedlings were initially infected, then after a while all the cucumber stems dry out. As a result, the entire crop is destroyed.
At the initial stage of the disease, a white coating appears on the stems; at later stages, dark spots appear.
The development of infection is promoted:
- sudden change in temperature;
- high humidity;
- poor ventilation in the greenhouse;
- bushes grow too quickly.
Brown spot
The main symptom of cladosporiosis is rot at the ends of the fruit.
Spotting initially appears on the embryos, then dark spots completely cover the cucumbers.
If damage is noticed at the initial stage of development , then the diseased fruits are separated from the stems, protecting healthy leaves and ovaries from infection.
Important! The disease is common in southern and humid areas.
Apical rot
The main sign of the disease is the formation of a small gray or dark green watery spot at the top of the fruit.
Main causes of rotting:
- root damage;
- unstable watering;
- lack of calcium;
- excess nitrogen.
Pests
Comfortable conditions in the greenhouse and in the garden bed are good not only for cucumbers, but also for insects that harm them.
Greenhouse whitefly
This insect sucks the juice from the leaves of cucumbers , leaving behind a sticky secretion, due to which the plants begin to turn black and then dry out completely.
Glue traps are laid out against whiteflies . In greenhouses, nets on windows and entrance doors protect against insects.
melon aphid
Cotton, or melon, aphid appears in the second half of summer . Damages flowers, ovaries and shoots, leading to their wrinkling and curling.
The reason for the proliferation of the pest is weeds, so cucumber plantings are regularly weeded.
The following solution is used against the pest : 200 g of tobacco dust and 30 g of fresh capsicum are added to 10 liters of hot water and left for a day. Then stir, filter, add 1 tbsp. l. liquid soap and 3 tbsp. l. wood ash. The entire aphid-infested area is sprayed with the product.
Agrotechnical errors
The main agrotechnical mistakes that gardeners make:
- Plants are planted too close. If the cucumbers do not have enough feeding area, they will not be able to feed all the ovaries. On average, 5 bushes require an area of 2 m².
- Excess fertilizer. Most farmers constantly feed their plants with manure so that they grow better, but excessive application of fertilizers with the same composition causes rotting of the crop. So, at the stage of fruit formation, it is useful to add 1 tbsp to the fertilizer. ash and 1 tbsp. l. superphosphate.
- Late harvest. Overripe vegetables retard the growth of other, younger fruits.
What is the main danger of stimulants?
As many readers here know, salts and amphetamines are considered, at the moment, little-studied and this makes them even more terrible drugs of our time.
The greatest danger is caused by the initial use of these substances. In this article we will mostly talk about “Salts”, since I am the person who directly got stuck in this swamp and saw all the horror “from the inside”.
The greatest danger this drug poses is that in the initial stages, it is almost impossible to suspect drug use visually.
The addict does not change in appearance; he/she appears excessively talkative, in a great mood, and has an incredible amount of energy. The biggest mistake is denying that you are a drug addict.
This self-deception plays the role of an “executioner”, because salt does not need to be consumed daily. A person sometimes lives for weeks without using and continues to be socially active.
He works, studies, walks and believes that he controls the situation, he decides when to “relax” and does not see, which is quite logical, any disadvantages. And this is another mistake.
From the moment of the first use of salt, a person no longer belongs to himself. In my case, the realization that I was not running the show came too late, after 2 years.
Until the moment of realization (by the way, for some it does not come until death), you think that this is: “Neighbor Masha is a drug addict, because she is addicted to heroin every day and cannot do without it. Here she is, crumbled, but I am NOT! After all, I can easily do without him.”
Another terrible illusion, self-deception, psychological denial of this fact, one might say the brain blocks the thought that maybe I still have a problem.
The initial use of salt causes a wild high, but no one thinks that this is temporary, that horror is ahead and this is not fiction, not fairy tales that scare drug addicts... This is reality.
Which I once denied.
This is how they do it, but it will bypass me. Alas, all salt addicts who were not provided with CONSIDERED, FAITHFUL, TIMELY help end up the same way.
The horrors of the last days of a salt and amphetamine addict, which relatives should know about
If, nevertheless, relatives chose the wrong tactics and took the wrong path, they must be prepared to witness the hellishly painful departure of their loved one to the next world.
Let’s say they chose the notorious 12-step system, or after listening to a lot of advice in a group of codependents, where they recommend cutting out the drug addict from your life and waiting until he comes to his senses and wants to.
Why do different parts of the bushes rot?
The main cause of rot is fungal and bacterial diseases that affect the entire plant, from roots to fruits. The bushes suffer if the watering regime is not followed and the indoor microclimate is maintained incorrectly.
Too high humidity and insufficient sunlight are additional factors for the rotting of cucumbers.
Young seedlings are often affected by blackleg (photo below). Signs of the disease: softening of the root collar, depletion of the stem, wilting of the leaves, rotting of the roots. Reasons: high humidity, insufficient lighting, dense planting, heavy soil.
With fusarium wilt, the leaves and vines of cucumbers droop, and the roots rot . To prevent disease, the soil is disinfected before planting and it is not allowed to become waterlogged.
Folk remedies
Wooden floor joists can be treated not only with factory-made compounds, but also with all kinds of folk remedies.
- Transformer oil. When treating logs with this chemical, the oil penetrates deeply into the wood structure and embalms it. There is no scientifically proven evidence of the effectiveness of the method, but judging by the reviews of craftsmen, transformer oil really helps protect wood.
- Engine oil. Often used to protect logs and used motor oil. There is a significant drawback to its use - the waste has a very unpleasant and persistent odor. Moreover, the smell can persist for many years - until it completely disappears. Therefore, mining cannot be used everywhere: in technical premises, but not in residential buildings. The advantage of this technique is the low cost or even free use of used oil.
- Resin. Resin-based compositions, for example, coniferous resin or birch tar, protect wood well from rot, fungus, and pests. The main disadvantage of resinous compositions is their vulnerability to fire hazards. In addition, the resins have a persistent odor that is difficult to weather.
- Brine. According to some craftsmen, salt can protect wooden logs. To make the solution you will need 100 grams of salt per liter of water.
When choosing a specific composition for protecting lags, you should be guided by your goals. Of all the options described above, the ideal choice is a fire-retardant substance that has the maximum spectrum of action.
Causes
Depending on the growing conditions of the crop, the causes of rot on cucumbers vary.
In the greenhouse
The main factors that provoke the appearance of rot on cucumbers in a greenhouse:
- unsuitable indoor microclimate;
- insufficient lighting;
- drafts;
- excessive humidity;
- lack of fertilizers.
In the open ground
Plants prefer an open sunny area, protected from cold winds, and light soil.
Causes of rotting cucumbers in the garden:
- improperly prepared soil in autumn and spring;
- the bed is not high enough;
- loosening the soil after plant growth;
- lack of organic matter;
- increased soil moisture.
On the windowsill
Cucumbers on the windowsill are the dream of many. If all the rules of care have been followed, then the first harvest is harvested 1–1.5 months after emergence. The cessation of culture development and the appearance of rot on the ovaries indicate errors in care.
Main factors of damage:
- unsuitable seeds;
- improperly prepared soil: a substrate made of vermicompost and coconut fiber is ideal for cucumbers on the windowsill;
- insufficient or excessive watering;
- lack of light.
If everyone dies, then how did you, the author, survive?
This is a natural question, after reading this article I will answer. I spent the last year in hospitals.
My whole body is completely damaged. I continue to rot inside and experience hellish pain. But I’m already home, because everything the doctors could do, they did.
Both of my lungs burst, one was restored, half of the other was cut off.
I, once a very beautiful girl, now look like a character from a horror movie. I have severe brain damage. And sometimes I don’t remember my name, sometimes I don’t understand what they say to me and what these words mean.
Sometimes my heart stops (systole), at these moments I feel how everything in my body stops, but my heart starts again.
I will not live long and of course, now I know how I will die, I am no different from other drug addicts, I will experience everything that the people who were in the department with me experienced and it is terrifying. After all, I understand that I will die in my feces and vomit. But most of all I am afraid of wild pains...
Not the best prospect, is it?
What to do
If signs of putrefactive processes appear on cucumbers, reduce irrigation as much as possible and carry out complex treatment.
Processing agents
Special preparations to combat rot:
- “Topaz” - dissolve 1 ampoule in 10 liters of warm water and spray the bushes;
- “Oxychom” - 20 g of the product is added to 10 liters of warm water, the plantings are treated in dry, windless weather.
After harvesting, the soil is watered with a solution of copper sulfate, and all plant residues are burned. For soil and bushes use “HOM”.
Agrotechnical techniques
When rot appears on the ovaries, plants refuse to fertilize with organic fertilizers. Use only minerals in small doses .
Important! Water the cucumbers in the second half of the day, when the water and soil warm up.
If the air temperature drops , the plantings are not moistened.
Classification of wood according to resistance to decay and impregnation
In order not to fuss for a long time with protecting a wooden house, boat or interior items from rot, it is important to choose the right material, since different types of trees are used, differing in the level of resistance to rot and even impregnation with means that protect against it
According to resistance to rotting of wood species
According to this criterion, tree species are classified into one of 4 main classes:
- The most resistant to rot: pine, ash, oak.
- Possessing average resistance: beech, representatives of the Pine genus such as spruce, cedar, larch, fir.
- Low-resistant: birch, elm, hornbeam, maple.
- Species that are not resistant to rot: linden, alder, aspen.
By impregnation of wood species with protective agents
Regarding the ability of wood to absorb substances, with whose help it is possible to protect the material from rotting, this classification consists of the following 3 classes:
- Materials that are easily impregnated: pine, birch, beech.
- Raw materials with moderate impregnation: cedar, European larch, hornbeam, oak, maple, linden, aspen, alder.
- Difficult to impregnate: spruce, Siberian larch, fir, ash, elm.
Preventive measures
One of the most effective preventative techniques is adding peat to the soil before planting seeds.
Useful tips:
- Water the plants only when necessary. Water temperature is within +20…+23°C.
- They constantly monitor the bushes: if rot is noticed in time, crop loss can be avoided.
- 2 weeks before sowing, the soil is disinfected with Trichodermin.
- Each time after removing infected bushes, the greenhouse or greenhouse is disinfected. All windows and doors are washed with soapy water, and the soil is treated with bleach.
- Dill, corn, lettuce, and spinach are planted next to the cucumbers. They stimulate fruit growth.
Where to start protecting a wooden house from rot
Just purchasing the “right” material for construction is not enough. The points listed below must be taken into account.
Selecting a location
It is not advisable to place the house in a lowland, at the foot of a hill. Otherwise, the foundation will constantly get wet, and waterproofing will have to be laid in several rows so as not to constantly stop rotting. If there is no other option, high-quality drainage is required to drain storm and flood waters.
Foundation height
It is recommended to equip a monolithic foundation for a frame or timber cottage. The height above ground level is at least 30 cm. To guarantee the protection of the tree, it is better to lay the ground floor of brick and concrete. It can also be used as a basement, underground garage, or storage room.
Planting
Bushes and trees should not come into contact with the walls or roof of the house. Numerous bugs living in the crown should not be given an additional opportunity to move to the log house.
Minimum decorative elements
Carved platbands look beautiful on windows, porches, and front doors. But moisture collects in numerous protrusions, recesses, and depressions, provoking the development of mold, and then rot.
It is advisable to install visors over the windows, and all wooden surfaces that do not have protection should be treated with water-repellent compounds. Drainage and thoughtful ventilation will help speed up the evaporation process.
Time interval between construction and start of finishing
If the builders have just left the site, you cannot immediately start plastering, painting the walls, covering them with plasterboard or clapboard. At least six months are allocated for the final drying and shrinkage of the tree. If this period is not met, significant amounts of moisture will be “locked” inside the load-bearing structures. Very soon they will appear in the form of black spots of mold, and then rot.
Roof, hydro and thermal insulation
A mandatory element of the slopes is a full-fledged drainage system with gutters, funnels, and pipes to drain water away from the foundation. The roof itself should have a protrusion within 40-60 cm to protect the walls from direct sunlight.
The vapor barrier film is always placed at the beginning of the heat flow, where the temperatures are positive. The thermal insulation membrane must be located at the end of the heat flow. In this case, condensation will not accumulate in the supporting structures. Another condition is the sealing of the joints of timber or logs, the point where the pipe exits from the stove or heating boiler to the roof.
Tips from experienced gardeners
Rot in cucumbers is a common problem. The most effective method of combating it is timely removal of the affected bushes by the roots . Gardeners advise constantly monitoring the condition of plants and taking action at the first signs of damage to the ovaries and fruits.
Proper care of crops, constant control of temperature and humidity will prevent rotting.
The optimal air temperature in a greenhouse for cucumbers: in sunny weather - +25...+29°C, in cloudy weather - +20...+22°C, critical - +13°C. When it gets cold and high humidity, plants get sick and die.
