TUESDAY 7/16:
Today I transplanted her into a 3 gallon pot and moved her outdoors. She has a massive root system already. I watered her in with bottled water and some dolomite, azomite, and bokashi. I'll cook up some tea for her and everybody else I move outdoors in the next few days.
WEDNESDAY:
I watered her with about a half-gallon and added Kelp Me Kelp You. I also sprayed her a few times with Boom Boom Juice and she seemed to grow an inch almost immediately.😀
THURSDAY:
She grew two inches overnight! I FIM'd her today and inspected her for pests...all clear.👍
FRIDAY:
Inspected for pests and repositioned her in a spot that gets another half hour of sunlight per day. I sprayed the area with Ortho again and bought a little air bubbler to aerate water for compost tea.
SATURDAY:
She put on a few more inches since Thursday..really stretching now, but I still see no pistils. I mixed up a fairly weak batch of Big Bloom and Grow Big plus some Kelp Me Kelp You and douched her with about a half-gallon right as the sun was coming up. I also prepared a foliar feed using Big Bloom and Kelp Me Kelp You and sprayed her well before the sun came up, and again after it was going down. I also started aerating 4 gallons of water today...will add the compost tea tomorrow morning and let it cook for 24 hours.
SUNDAY:
I foliar fed her and sprinkled little more Silicium Flash on top of the soil of all my plants and mixed about 4 grams of Bactrex into a jug with 3/4 gallon of bottled water and douched all my plants with about 2 pints each. That should really get the beneficial bacteria and fungus kicked into overdrive.
I started brewing a 4 gallon batch of compost tea today. Since I don't have any Orgatrex, I am using a little Big Bloom, Kelp Me Kelp You, and Grow Big in the tea in addition to the PK Compost Booster tea from Bi Tabs. I'll add Mycotrex to it about 2 hours before it finishes and dowse them all, thoroughly, tomorrow morning.
MONDAY:
I think I FIM'd the FIM job..not acting right...but she's stretching like crazy now.
She got about a liter of compost tea this morning along with a good foliar feeding.
@CRiSPrGrow,
Yep...I already did some judicious branch removal or they wouldn't be getting any direct sunlight at all..I opened up the tree canopy enough for them to get morning sun(from the east) from about 9:30am until about 2pm, then it's shaded the rest of the day. I'm considering opening up the western exposure so that they'd get a little bit more direct sunlight from around 5pm until 5:30 or maybe 6:00pm.
@CRiSPrGrow,
I kinda doubt it's N lockout....besides the biotabs, she's only received minute amounts of organically derived sources of nitrogen, like kelp, earthworm castings, and compost tea, and the occasional boom boom spray..unless maybe it's a K lockout..
If she hasn't improved when I go out to see her today, I'm gonna transplant her into a 5 gallon pot. I really hate to at this late stage, but I'm hoping she'll recover quickly.
