sprayed demand cs tonight along with some daconil cuz a powerful wave of cuke beetles has arrived since the recent rains. i haven't seen them in my patch, but at work we are using a yellow plastic vapor barrier under the floor slabs and the damn cukes are everywhere when they lay it out and are attracted to the bright yellow color. got to keep out the powdery mildew that is prone to set up at this time of the year along with diseases too that the cukes bring with them. haven't seen a svb in quite a while which is nice. the demand cs alternated with talstar one has really kept my bug problems in check nicely this year. i will hit the plants with banner max again on august 14th for systemic control of powdery mildew. i think i might have been overwatering a bit in that last heat wave which might have contributed to some slower growth. no more misting and just watering thoroughly every other day from here on out. i think the under the leaf spraying of neptunes with higher application rates, along with the light rate of foliar feed neptunes/calcium has contributed to the increased weight gains in Noah along with better weather too. 2 months from tomorrow is the weigh off and i hope Noah can make it safely until then and continue growing nicely in the meantime.
