Lanterra Update > Its wet outside and cool after about a 1/2" of rainfall last night and yesterday. The cool cloudy day is just the way to introduce a couple of new additions into patch # 3.
Patch # 3 > Welcomes the addition of the 998 Pukos and its back up plant the 1134 Landry 07. Both plants are placed in an 8' X 6' hoop house that is heated with a 500w halogen light. Each plant receives a generous helping of RTI symbios Pumpkin Pro and new for this year a smattering of slow release 6 month fertilizer at 19-6-13.
OMG. I can hear every one now. After months of professing about the need to limit ferts here is the kahuna adding them. Low phos won't hurt the myco and the slow release 6 month time clock is just the ticket I was looking for to supplement the patch 3 nutrients which are often locked away. Each plant only received a dibbled tablespoon in its planting hole. So there's no real secrets here the 998 will be grown in a traditional style tree form with some angled back vines and a bit of wing back growth.
