LanTerra Update > Dodged a bullet yesterday. Toronto had more than 5" of rain in a couple of hours yesterday. Although we are only a 45 minutes from the city the storm cells stayed just to the north west travelling south east.
Missed my area by only a few miles. Still they dumped more than 1.5" on my patch by the evening.
209 Werner 12, FP is growing faster than the AGP, 1778 Daletas. This plant looks very healthy and should produce a big pumpkin next month.
Maters. Now have 5 mega blooms on the first 7 plants. Not a bad ratio so far. Did the cooler temperatures have something to do with this? My research says it does. The other two plants will need to wait for the second cluster truss to set mega blooms.
A total of 18 mater plants made it into the garden in 5 phases so I will have maters coming well into September. all are 5.41 Landry 11 except for 4 - 5.50 Johnston/Butlers 12.
Interesting note 3 - 5.4's and 4 - 5.50's went into the ground on the same day in late May. The 5.41' were planted in pots and set into the ground. They are surprisingly about 20% bigger at this time. Unsure why but I think it might have something to do with moisture retention in the pots. Also note that these 5.41 plants had a longer duration of Far Red light indoors than the 5.50's. Starting out they grew faster than the simple exposed incandescent light 5.50's. There indeed appears to be a discernible difference in Far Red treated plants. But the jury is still out on this.
