THURSDAY 7/18:
I FIM'd her today. She's growing quickly now.. but looking at her, I'm still not so sure it wasn't really a spinach seed😂
But seriously, I'm thinking that I used too much Mycotrex or Great White while she was still too young or something. Her roots were looking awesome when I transplanted her, but she's got some weird-looking foliage..
FRIDAY:
Inspected for pests and repositioned her in a spot that gets another half hour of sunlight per day. I sprayed the area with Ortho again and bought a little air bubbler to aerate water for compost tea.2
SATURDAY:
She put on a couple of inches since Thursday. I mixed up a fairly weak batch of Big Bloom and Grow Big plus some Kelp Me Kelp You and douched her with about a half-gallon right as the sun was coming up. I also prepared a foliar feed using Big Bloom and Kelp Me Kelp You and sprayed her well as the sun came up, and again after it was going down. I also started aerating 4 gallons of water today...will add the compost tea tomorrow morning and let it cook for 24 hours.
SUNDAY:
I foliar fed her and sprinkled little more Silicium Flash on top of the soil of all my plants and mixed about 4 grams of Bactrex into a jug with 3/4 gallon of bottled water and douched all my plants with about 2 pints each. That should really get the beneficial bacteria and fungus kicked into overdrive.
I started brewing a 4 gallon batch of compost tea today. Since I don't have any Orgatrex, I am using a little Big Bloom, Kelp Me Kelp You, and Grow Big in the tea in addition to the PK Compost Booster tea from Bi Tabs. I'll add Mycotrex to it about 2 hours before it finishes and thoroughly dowse them all tomorrow morning.
MONDAY:
She got about a a liter and a half of freshly brewed compost tea and a foliar feeding right after the sun came up. She's a happy camper.👍
