Mater update: LanTerra has several fruit at or approaching 20" with 2 - 7.88 & 1 - 5.20 Butler are the patch leaders. Now down to 10 good fruit on 7 plants and 3 other test plants left for experiments. Holding off the first flash is key now. Heavy dosing of Fish, Kelp and Cytokine's. All Maters get moron drenched and or sprayed daily. The 1144* fruit and plant got sprayed on Thursday with Auxins(IBA) just ahead of the cold front. 52*F this morning... Gotta keep it growing. It is very surprising how much ferts a mater can tolerate. So all plants get the daily moron treatment of something and now in higher doses. No Bugs, NO PM or Black Mold. So despite the coldest & wettest summer in a long, long time the plants will prolly head into September in good shape. Kratky setup is hard to grow in. Roots are fine but the water in a orange 5 gallon bucket is green. Needs regularly to be flushed. Biggest KratKy surprise was the first mega fruit got BER. Its was never without water. Maybe outta the 5 gallon contest as only have one slow growing fruit.. BES ruined those two plants and several fruits have suffered from tie up issues in Kratky and 5 Gallon Pails.
