Day 21-28
(Day 23) I’m starting to think a few of these locos are permanently stunted. The new growth isn’t looking much better honestly. I wonder if those bulb mites are going to town on the underdeveloped root system like what happened to the garlics early on.
(Day 25) I’m pinching lower stems at their birth before they turn into a full on branch.
(Day 26) Just giving water and nothing special. I wonder how much nutrients is actually in the garlics solo cups. It’s a custom soil mix and I don’t see any signs of yellowing, even on the cotes. Maybe it’s too hot for some the locos. The slurricane F1 is rapidly growing, stretching and looking happy. Since it’s out pacing everything else by so much I’m going to pinch the top early and see if it will recover. I’m pretty confident it will, even under the stress.
(Day 28) Going to give a foliar spray @ 8ml/L of Velokelp and 8ml/L of calmag from Remo nutrients and a bit of EM1 for powdery mildew prevention.
