2 weeks ago I started to write the weekly post like this
Week 8
Plant is waiting for the growing kick. For the moment it’s a pretty plant; relatively healthy despite of all pests or diseases to prevent or fight soon before summer. Temperatures are around 30 degrees some day, and there’s lot of insects: some are good for the plant, some are bad.
I’m intensifying the preventative treatments: this week I sprayed Neem oil and 3 days after: a decoction made with distilled water + garlic + chili (maturing 10 days in dark).
12 hours after spraying my preparation without any ph test before😱🤯💀…disaster happened: the plant was damaged, burned, with crispy yellow leaves: very big mistake.
Stressing and busy life has bad consequences on the culture. I must take my time before acting.
New commandment: ALWAYS YOU’LL TEST YOUR PREPARATION BEFORE SPRAYING
So angry 😡 I started fo flush leaves and plants , spraying morning and before night distilled water. Cutting yellow leaves.
I tested the preparation after, too late: ph 4 or less….😔👏🏼….well done.
But plant are not dying, major damages on leaves. It will be a question of time to recover health: plant is still growing.
Training the plant such as an espalier, well adapted to the light exposure in my place. I built a sort of basic scale with bamboo and twisted carefully the main branches around. Less risky and less time spend….
Using nutrients: Flora Series from général hydroponic : working good for outdoor
@Andy1964,
Hey, I’m coming back to my garden in 5 days, and will update the diary soon😎…I hope my plants are safe.
This Blackberry Moonrocks will have around 120 days of vegetative period: born at the beginning of April, it will start a short flowering cycle at the beginning of August.
Good luck to you 🤞🏼😋
