Patch overview shot. Sorry for the crooked picture, I took it while I was mowing. It has been in the upper 80's and sunny for about 4 days now. I gave each of the 8 plants 1/16 cup of Neptunes fish/ seaweed in 1 gallon of water as a drench. The foliar is burning the leaves at this stage. We got a very fortunate soaking rain just after I finished with the drench in addition to a decent storm on Saturday. The plants are beginning to vine a little and a few should be on the ground sometime this week. My 423, still the best grower, looks like it will lay down in the wrong direction unfortunately. Front left: 423, 423, back left: 1101 #1, 500, back right: 434, 1502, front right: 423, 1101 #2. Which ones will survive. Some notes about the patch all the plants get full sun from sunrise till when the shadow of the house begins to move over the patch starting around 7pm this time of year. 100% of all weeds have been dandilions thus far and the patch has been kept clean. The 1502 and 1101 plants got more mushroom soil and no artifical fertilizers compared to the other plants. So far their growth has been equivilant but the plant color is notably lighter green in color. All plants do receive the Neptune's though. I plan to switch to a Peter's formulation for next week.
