harpo on day 52 tonight was 172.5-98-95 = 365.5" ott or estimate of 1023 lbs. doing a little over 1" a day still circ and about 17 per day poundage. started to train some pop up terts to fill in areas around the main in the first 7 feet of each plant where old tired leaves were removed. plant and stump are still very healthy with no issues of rot on the main at this point. the quintec ans spot hitting with stylet oil in conjunction with actinovate and other fungicides in rotation have kept the powdery mildew in check the best i have ever done at the middle of august. also began using cal carb last week when the heat and humidity broke. got a nice 3/4 inches of rain yesterday for a good deep soaking. foliar dertilizing about every 4 to 5 days and included another tablet of biota max also in the last hit. hopefully i can coast her in to the 400 + ott range with long term growth.
