change of plans. tonight i will hit with quadris and 3-18-18 and fulvic acid combo. rotating quadris and quilt every 5 days with 4 gallons of mix under the leaves and 4 gallons of mix over the leaves with my stihl fogger. the heat is here and the humidity yesterday had the heat index at 115 degrees yesterday. 78 dewpoint. yikes. humidity is lower today and hot still so and i upped the water a bit to account for the breezy hot 91 degree low humidity day. but the humidity is back all week and then some with 8 of then next 10 days with high heat and humidity. good for pumpkin growth...but good for powdery mildew and other diseases too. this year i will need to keep the leaves as healthy all season long as possible with sets on june 12th and 14th if i have a chance to keep them growing 73 more days until milwaukee and 80 days til the Mosters of the Midway Weigh-Off at Bengston's Farm in Homer Glen sunday october 3rd. sundays will be the weekly demand cs spray comboed with lighter doses of co2 at 2 tsp per gallon each week with 4 gallons of mix below the leaf canopy and 4 gallons above all at medium to fine droplet setting. small drenches every 4 day of neptunes seweed and fish, humic acid, and light 3-18-18 will continue. by small i mean just two of my 2 gallon sprinkling cans of mix along the main and around stump area. my idea this year is to keep providing more p and k as they deplete it from the soil chugging over 30 lbs per day and to help sustain better growth from day 35 to 60 than i have seen in the past. i read in a study yesterday that nutrient and minerals that can be absorbed through leaf tissue can be found at the tip of every root hair within 60 minutes after application. that is silly.
