TUESDAY 9/3:
I almost want to delete this diary..not even worth my time I'm afraid.
She seems to be stuck. Hasn't really recovered from her root problems despite being transplanted into a looser mix with a couple extra gallons of soil. She doesn't look any worse, but she also doesn't look any better, and the calendar tells me that there isn't much time left for things to change....😟
WEDNESDAY:
I was out at the property for awhile today, hosed off the horsies and cleaned their hooves really well. I was there long enough that I was able to move the plants into direct sunshine for an extra couple hours. I fed her with a half-gallon of water including bembe, terpinator, tiger bloom, beastie bloomz, armor si, and big bloom.
THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY:
I was sick as a dog . 2-day stomach virus, followed by an acute pancreatitis attack...
😷
MONDAY:
I gave her about a half-gallon of aquarium water with some bembe, beastie bloomz, and tiger bloom.
@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.
