23 Dutch Gelato

July 6: decided to put the pepper cage on about 36 h ago and she’s responding perfectly. Foliar spray of potassium silicate and kelp Humic blend with some Dr Bronners. Other people would use neem oil but commercial growers here in Canada aren’t allowed to use it and I want to stay in practice. This pheno has the most sativa type leaves of the four plants this year. July 7: mild defoliation to let light into the centre.Spread some Azomite on the soil as a top dressing cuz she might have a trace metals deficiency. July 8: watered with lazy compost tea. This is practically very similar to using Recharge which is a mix of bacteria, molasses, and humic acids. July 10: added a couple handfuls of malted barley as a top dressing. Barley is a great nutrient and enzyme source (idea is from Clackamas Coot). July 11: she’s grown about 5 inches in four days. 👍👍
