23 Fast Bruce

July 20: still growing fast. July 23: still going great at about an inch per day. Decided to start the 12 h darkness for force flowering this Friday, so five more days. Started another bucket of lazy compost tea. July 24: hot again today. Compost tea was used in late afternoon. Added top dressing of barley, kelp Humic Blend and Power Bloom, which are the main things, and then some Azomite for trace metals, and finally some ground oyster shells for the calcium and because I had some lying around unused. I figured the top dressing should go on after the compost tea so it’s not too much at once for the plant. Anyway, force flowering starts soon so I want flowering nutrients on the soil now. The last 90 days have been the hottest ever here in Edmonton, and lots of other places too. July 25: was a bit wilted when I got home at about 4 in the afternoon. It was hotter than I expected today, but perked up within half an hour after watering and misting.
