"Arwen Jr." is really enjoying this heat!!!!I rigged up a few cheap bed sheets as shade cloth to keep the plants out of direct contact with all this intense sunlight and sprayed the plants down for about 15 minutes every four hours for the last few days while temps have been in the 90's.The wind has been a constant battle but the sheets have protect from the sun as well as the gust of wind. Yesterday I decided on giving a drench of 2 gallons of 15-30-15 and merit to each plant .I really anticipate a push on the secondaries growth with the additional phosphate push.The weather is expected to change tonight to heavy T-storms followed by a cooling down into the 70's and then back to the 90's for the weekend.I did'nt water today in anticipation of rain tonight so that I did'nt get caught in a overwater situation with the rains tonight and tommorrow.I will spend some time tonight "battenind down the hatches" in preparation for what could be high winds!!
