My 1132.5-09 Westervelt start is beginning to show signs of yellowing. This concerns me a bit. It has been outside for two days now so I am hoping the plant is not getting damping off disease. The 1400-09 Holland is growing strong and shows no signs of any slowdowns after it was transplanted. In fact it is almost like the young plant was turbo charged. I am wondering if it has to do with the Holland seed coming from Western Washington and the Westervelt seed coming from California. I will have to investigate further the advantages and disadvantages of a seed from my own region of the country. I watered today and fertilized with Biomin Calcium Concentrate Fertilizer. The fertilization schedule has kicked in. I will be rotating through three fertilizers until I approach the flowering and pollination phase of growing. I will be using Neptune’s Harvest Fish & Seaweed Fertilizer, Neptune’s Harvest Seaweed Fertilizer, and finally Calcium Concentrate Fertilizer on my plants. I will be rotating through them. Each will get applied once a week. In addition once the plant begins to vine I will be adding BioGrow Endo Plus (Mycorrhizae) to each leaf axil.
