1144* Sproule. > motoring along at 5' with the first female appearing today. May 18 is darn early.
Pre-pollination strategy has been to effectively implement some of the data in the latest studies. Fostering Phloem Sieve tube development is a fundamental key leading to bud development of the pathways and plumbing into the new fruiting sink. So daily moderate dose TDS drenching's of low pH water at 5.5 to 6 and HA with Kelp. Often added in is P & K seams to work fine.... Note : Never used these large quantities of soluble HA and Kelp or this much K before. Always in the past used a lot of Phos for fruit set and K for finishing. Also really have worked hard on low TDS < 1,000ppm sprays. Have used IBA sparingly 1/4 dose or less three or four times. Steve Jepson would be proud as he was often a discussion leader here with Doc Gipe gawking his ear off. The theories of sink source relationship are finally become understood thanks to Savage and friends.. The new research has from my view indicated lowered future peduncle resistance can be overcome using a smattering of tools early and often. First observation appears this regime causes no harm. Can't tell you all how Its good to be back in the game!
