7 DAP. Switching to a fruit feeding regiment: I foliar fed Max Sea Bloom 3-20-20 with additional Potassium Sulfate and calcium mixed in, 600ppm total. The fruit swelled noticeably in 12 hours, we are in fat grapefruit territory.

Keeping a close eye on the blossom end. Ended up doing another trim (first trim + daconil coat didnt help stop discoloration) and cleaning it with rubbing alcohol throughout the day as it dried. I have a fan on it 24/7, but will need to cover it when overhead watering.

Foliar applied Bonide Infuse system fungicide this evening to keep things tight. Hoping it helps the blossom end as well. I had a zuchinni plant get totally eat down with squash bugs, and they attacked the vine but luckily the imacloprid systemic is keeping them at bay. I’ll need to get a good contact for emergencies and spot applications.

Getting really excited!
