Anyway, as you can see, I still have plenty of work to do before I'm growing 'em huge, but after being unsure of this season at all back in April, I'm beyond glad I'm giving it another go...doesn't hurt that the Pac. NW has had the most incredibly nice weather I can ever remember. Hopefully Joel or someone is tending to an absolute monster. Also wanted to shout out to Mark Clementz again this year for his great diary and YouTube videos as well as Matt 'Captain 97' Radach for a similarly awesome diary.

Lately, I've had a few issues, though. The most notable of which is seen in the attached picture. A few of the oldest leaves have developed these brown, cracked areas that look very similar to gummy stem blight. I have consistently sprayed with Daconil and definitely got overzealous with foliar feeding at least once, likely burning the leaves...so I'm not certain. Upon cutting this particular leaf off, I found the stem to be completely intact and rigid. Any further info on this? I should probably post on the message board, heh. It doesn't seem to be spreading per se, but there are several leaves with it, all of which are old. Also, no signs of powdery mildew; any white you see if residual Daconil.
