Hi All,
My circs have been
day 26 98
day 28 109
day 32 126
day 34 129
day 37 135.
This week has been the first week of high temps (days 32 - 37)
History shows that this tends to happen to me all the time with not much growth beyond day 40.
Does anyonehave any suggestions on a push strategy?
I routinely rotate 1/4 cup cal nitrate and pot sulfate twice weekly and there is no mildew yet.
Cheers
Clinton

Hi Clinton,
from your listing I cannot see anything which would hint at "not much growth beyond day 40". Excel your OTT weights and see how they behave. In my experience the maximum OTT weight gain is around day 40, and then growth rate drops (slowly).

If you can mist the plants during the heat of the day you might find slightly higher gains.

Clinton,
Please send me an email at [email protected], this is exactly what I will be speaking about at the winter meetings, I think I may be able to shed some light on what we have put together after reading soil many tests over the past few years, and tissue tests more recently.
