Cornerstone Update > I thought I would keep you apprised of another little trick I am trying this season. The 1446 Werner plant is huge by all usually standards for this time of year at Cornerstone. Now this could be simply attributed to Co2 gas trapped in the hoop or the new larger heated hoop house structures.

This plant was put in by itself without back up. I have fed it plenty of molasses and symspray as I have watched it grow. From day one it has been more vigorous then the rest. This plant is also getting more myco then the others. I have been unearthing the soil until I find fresh roots to which I quickly sprinkle some Bio-Endo product then cover and water. This really not the dibble tactic we talked about at the GVGO seminar but I don't believe this will hurt the plant at all. Very carefully I have managed to produce a fresh myco ring around the plant out about four feet from the base in the area of new fast growing roots. If there is any Phosphorus reduction in colonisation this plant will be able to quickly grow into and colonise the new fresh myco. Will it help, is the question, I quess only a long term answer can be found in late September.
