Ok! Heres the poop! Scoop!Due to high nitrogen I watered 3 days in a row real heavy like 1/2 to 5/8s water.Dolly & Tiny both dropped to a pinch under 20 lbs a day due to drowning the roots which removes oxygen from the soil & slows growth.This should help leach the nitro off.I taped there circumferences this am.Dolly is 169.5 & tiny 141.25.I left tapes taped to kins,This way I will be sure I'm taping in the same spot.As the water leaves the soil I will watch for growth gains?or not?If nothing else I will learn how much water my soil needs.I also dug 2 holes under the 2009 Wallace abot 2 inches circum and 6 to 8 inches deep.I will do a soil test today.The ground is Wet wetter then ideal for sure.I contiue to give Rhino,Carboload,Voodoo juice the high sugars could help burn the nitro off.Time will tell.Hoping to keep them going 20 lbs a day for a few more weeks.The 1495 looks like the perfect pumpkin.Should hit 700 today.Dolly about 1050lbs to the chart.Thats just a ballpark figure.Ballparks are really big!!lol
