This shows you plant size & condition.Im doing light feedings & cal carb & very weak copper & manzate foliars.The only way to stop curling leaf is no feeding the plant.I dont have the kahonies to try doing that.This is last years Dairy Do 301 it should be deleted of nutrients. I even grew the sugar snap peas in it.Next weeks video will show what im feeding it.Heres a clue It aint PBJ thems for me & JACK.LOL

This is growing in the same 8 foot bed "The Worm" is in 301 Dairy Do compost.This is year #2 on the 301.It grew my sugar snap peas this past spring.Seems to be fruit producing mix for veggies.I just culled all the fruit I could still dozens more & will have to pick off with tweeezers.

Still producing mega blossoms I have been removing suckers totally.However now I might be in the final 10 day push I will do the opposite of what most would think.I will apply what Joe Ailts St Croix Growers check out their website.His theory if the plant still growing it keeps sending a hormone to keep trucking.So I will cut off the little megas but let the new leafs develop. This plant is pretty big & can share the energy,may even give me a longer grow time.I cant wait to grow my Domingo seed line in 2021.I think it will be awesome seed line.Thanks to PorkChop & applesauce ALICE!

Dan Fleser gave me this awesome Long gourd grown from the 146 Jutras.I will harvest the seeds when the Witch is done.Thanks Dan.Great seeds worth growing Not a good growing season in Michigan this year.Shocking how small the pumpkins are.Dont judge a seed by the size the weather can kill your grow.My 1317 was proof of that grew the 1734-1947 & 1998.5 Jutras I hope to grow a Giant Pumpkin on a 1000 sg feet patch in 2021.Feeling much better now that my knee has healed.No surgery Just rest lack of abuse healed it.

Celebrating the Big 59 a few days ago.I will be testing some new soil from a local farm.If the soil is clean? I will build a Kin Cave The same type the last 3 Michigan State records have been grown in.They are Screen houses not under hot plastic.Looking forward to 2021 it can only get better.

The White Zombie seeds are back! 1194 Welton 2145 McMullen X Central Great Lakes Weigh-off 2145 McMullen X 1195 Welton 372.0 1,161.00 3.0 Heavy Plus I want to share my New Grow location still waiting on disease results from Western labs.If not great I may do a Steve Connolly & remove the soil 2 foot deep & replace with clean soil.I bet 50% of growers or higher have disease issues they dont know about.Worth $140-$200 ? or grow blind? Its a no brainier to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUAvM5m01NY&t=35s

Added note if you cant afford a soil disease test.Have your Lover,spouse,wife.husband,partner significant other best friend get a second job. or plan 2 Start charging those kids living in your basement rent. Plan 3 Apply for a entitlement loan you dont have to pay back .There is always ways to raise the cake to Grow & bake. LOL Good luck & stay safe !
