Ok now we are actually starting to see a little bit of normalcy. Leaves have grown to a typical size for the plant and height shot up like crazy. We are starting to see some actual green that appears to be unaffected by whatever issues it was having. Her first tea application looked to be very beneficial. Sprayed one last time with neem before the days started getting shorter. I don't know if it is the lime, DE, tea or just mother nature but I think I may actually get something from this plant! In retrospect, transplant + pH change + another topping never even gave her a fair shake at recovery. Too much too soon.
Plant was watered on 6/22 rain water. A second tea was brewed on 6/25/20 and applied 6/26/20. Tea consisted of 2 cups castings and 2 tbsp molasses in 5 gallons distilled water. Castings that were used to brew the tea were put around the stalk. Big big error during tea time on 6/26/20. I did not pH the tea. I was freaking out once I realized but I do not believe it was any significant high end pH. Tea does a body good apparently!
For the record, this diary is be updated from a couple into the future. I continued to document the downfall and will slowly beginning to update the weeks but, I stopped journaling it because I truly did not think anything would come from the plants. We are now a month off into the future and they are just now starting to make a comeback which is why I decided to revisit. I think many will enjoy seeing not only the downfall but the absolute comeback.
