"it" on day 39 is 158-94.5-91.5 or 344" ott and estimated at 855 lbs. first drop in daily gains in 6 days. some cooler nights over the past 3, but the daily average was bound to start coming down sooner or later. 33 pounds even a day for the last 3 days. more signs of powdery mildew, about 15 leaves per plant with some minor symptoms, and 3 leaves per plant completely covered. spraying thoroughly and should be ok for the remaining maximum growth period over the next month. i am not easing off the watering program due to the powdery mildew. i figure with the 3 fungicides in rotation, i can keep 90 percent of the plants healthy for the next 4 weeks and as long as possible. i will begin my neptunes seaweed and fish drenching again on monday or tuesday. its cloudy and cool all day today and tomorrow is supposed to be warmer with clear bright sunshiney skies so i will wait for the ferts until the warmer temps steady out so not to push to hard.
