Not much changed this week, temps were warm during the day and rain every couple of days. She is growing quite well! I am continuing to spray 2x a week with Greencure, Organocide and Castile soap, alternating with Monterey Bt. Still no evidence of WPM or bugs, but I’ll continue to be vigilant. She’s getting 2 gallons of water every 2 days.
I’m still putting slug bait out every 3 days and it is keeping the slugs off the girls, so I’ll continue. I’ve put ant traps out under the canopy, hopefully the ants will find somewhere else to live.
Daylight hours were 14:55 at the beginning of the week and 14:40 at the end. I’ve seen a few pistils on the lower bud sites, enough to say it’s definitely a girl, but not enough to say flower has started. The branches are still growing opposite, not alternating yet, so she may not be quite mature.
Thanks for stopping by! ✌️🌱
