Plant seemed to take well to the transplant. Heavy rainfall in the evening began the week on 5/25/20 and was what I believe was the beginning of bad things. My rain water pH sits at about 5.5 and the plants had been accustomed to the 6.5 pH I was providing indoors. I do not believe the Great Lakes Water Only soil contained enough buffer to accommodate that. 1/4 cup of lime raked in as a top feed on 6/3/20. You can see some tip damage and some pretty significant curling down of the tips. While other garden mates show signs of calcium deficiency (likely caused by soil pH and not the soil content mixture) this particular one did not have the spotting that I am seeing on my other plants. Being that I am new to this brand soil, I am going to give the plant some time to adjust and hope that things will even out a bit with that lime. I sprayed the plants with Neem oil on 5/26/20 due to some holes I was seeing in the leaves of one of the other plants in the garden. Plant was topped on 5/31/20 at the 5th node. Growth seemed to slow significantly and plant has clearly been stunted. More heavy rainfall during most of the day on 5/29/20. The weather has not been very kind and is 100% a contributing factor to upcoming issues. Next week I will also introduce the first inoculation tea which is my first ever AACT I will brew. Water and the occasional tea once every 2 weeks is all this is supposedly need to take.
