Cooled off some 17c days, a bit of rain, lots of wind, haven't put the trelis net up but she's strong enough for another few weeks. Some light defoliating, now that stretch is underway easier to see inside the cannopy and cut out anything that isn't keeping up.
She looks incredibly healthy, clearly getting everything she needs from the Hugel. Heavy top dress last week she'll tear through it in no time.
Flowering underway, heavy stretch, nodes bulking up and spitting out hairs, hoping for last week of Sept finish!
Nothing much this week, lots of drip irrigation, monster maxx and silica weekly, and a weekly spray of LCPT, will add BT to LCPT maybe mid to end of August to combat the caterpillars.
I'm hoping that this crazy distributed cannopy will help with bud rot and air flow as the buds should stay on the smaller side. The initial trelis net really helped to guide and evenly space the core nodes.
