16 DAP and getting chonky.
This evening I used the soil moisture meter to asses the plot after a scorching hot day, and found things really dry despite watering every 24 hours. Turned on the overhead and gave it 1.25”. I could smell the vine degass happily afterwards, what a distinctive smell. In this heat I need to alternate the drip and overhead every 12 to 24 hours and or as needed.
Mixed a batch of foliar feed at 2,000ppm using my mistake batch as concentrate. It didnt smell as strong or look as dark going on, it may need to be a little stronger as I know the vine can take it in.
Finding that I can use my nose as a sense to gauge things - how wet, how strong, how green. Often I am digging into the soil in different spots to check on moisture. Touching the leaves, feeling for stiffness, structure, body. Every day a status, then a response to an identified need. Searching for eggs, bite marks, evidence. Lookin for soft spots.
This is the fun part!!
