            | bnot | Oak Grove, Mn | Thanks for the diary update.  I think you will probably get into "official" second this year with what you weigh on the 19th.    I am more curious about what you will get with your mega. Looking back in our diaries, it looks like you might be a bit behind mine at same DAP.  But mine flashed early.   You said you are feeding it Neptunes Veg formula.  Is this tomato and veg formula..if so the npk is 2-4-2.  I was using an npk  ratio of 2-1-4.  I can imagine that you are having trouble keeping it watered.  I was dropping a gallon per day in a 13 gallon bucket.  It sounds like a struggle if you are dropping 1 1/2 gallons per day in a two gallon bucket.  You are about past BER stage.  Bring it home...if you can beat my weight, I will consider you the winner.  Excellent job in overcoming the obstacles that put most winter growers down. | 3/17/2020 7:57:26 PM | 
		
            | wixom grower ( The Polish Hammer) | Wixom MI. | Im thinking that if your temperature is only 70° i would guess that you may gey 50 growing days after pollination.it appears that you are around day 20 or so ? So i think yours may still grow to around april 20 keep it growing you are doing a great job !!! | 3/17/2020 9:00:55 PM |

            | Orangeneck (Team HAMMER) | Eastern Pennsylvania | Yep bob it is the 2-4-2 Neptune’s. There is also osmocote in there which was great for the early stages but can’t keep up at this point. I will weigh the littler tomato in a little while today. It doesn’t appear to have grown much lately. I will keep the big one going and it will be easier just dealing with the one plant. I’ll be glad to have room for all of my spring starts now.  | 3/19/2020 10:20:31 AM | 
		
            | bnot | Oak Grove, Mn | Orangeneck...i would be concerned if I were you.  I looks like Carlo is going to make a run for late season with his little monster.  If know one else is watching, I am.  I think you both of you can beat my number for this year. | 3/23/2020 6:02:59 PM |
