1260.4 Weir(845 Bobier x 846 Calai) This plant started double for 2 nodes, its now growing as normal! Very solid, leaves up to 23" Plant is getting slight burn even with misting on hot days, already the temps are over 90F, humidity is low.

Foiliar sprayed the last 6 days in this order:

1 Vigor cal 0.5%
2 Bio B 0.1%(worried about burn, will up % by 0.1)
3 Vigor cal phos 0.5%
4 Fish 0.5%
5 Natrakelp 0.5%
6 Hydrogen peroxide(35% food grade) 0.5%

Looking for molasses, to complete a 7 day cycle. Making it up as I go, roughly following the Agro K schedule. I don't have access to all the products, so I have used a few alternatives. Did a bit of reading about hydrogen peroxide foliar feeding and it sounds promising. So far so good! Going to totally treat patch with symbex/companion systematically, before mulching with stable shavings.

The 1097.5 Beachy has really taken off, main out 3 foot, a few secondarys arlready at 1 foot. Catching the 753!
The 753 Lloyd is looking awesome, main out 4 foot, secondarys very aggressive.
The 35 Gerry is slowy forming a vine, so far behind, the entire plant takes up less than one 1260.4 leaf.
