09/20 (Day 172 - Flower Day 42): all is well lakeside. Still a bit of WPM on the 707s to deal with, but it’s not an issue by any stretch of the imagination. When I see it, it gets sprayed with 40/60 milk to water mix.
Mangos were flushed with 220L/water per plant on 09/14 and the 707s were fed the same day. Did a defoliation on all plants to thin them out, but more so on the Mangos as they enter the final 3 weeks. That was 3 hours of mixing and watering, followers by another 3 of pulling fans. Not fun but will save it on the back end come harvest.
All were then watered on 09/17, then watered and fed (707s) on 09/19. I cut the N down again the last feed and will continue that trend on the next. I suspect they might get 1, maybe 2 more before I flush. I’m running low on nutes and don’t really want to overwinter a freshly opened bottle, so when I’m out, they will get water till flush (next weekend).
All in all, it was a good week. 2 minor spots of rot to cut off Mango P3 (maybe lost a few gs), and some light WPM on the 707s. They continue to go inside st night, but next year I’ll need to address the airflow in their nightly home.
As it has all summer, and now as we get into fall, good things growing lake side.
