23 Dutch Gelato

June 15: just finished getting 64 mm or 2.5 inches of rain in 48 hours after a week of nearly 30 C everyday. She’s a bit behind still but seems to be growing normally now after having lost the apical growth tip at some point. So about two weeks behind where she should be but still with lots of time left. Likely needs some silicate to toughen up the stems a bit. June 18: lots of rain the last few days. June 20: really cool last few days. June 21: not raining and starting to warm up again. The next two weeks look to be good growing weather. Happy Solstice. Plant is still a bit flimsy after the slow start but I decided to do the second round of topping for the 8 cola manifold.
