Henry, it's 50 degrees here... im gonna start losing those gains??? You're closer to the coast, thats an unfair advantage! Monopolize on it, colors coming ;)

That's cold! It's in the 40s across much of the interior! I'm lucky I only got down to 59 ha. It definitely helps being closer to the coast! I hope your gains don't drop off too much. Still waiting on the big color here but the skin is still so young at 50 days. She's stretching!

Your skin is rather young and delicate looking still, you have done an excellent job! Keep her going- research the trace minerals for next year, how to make fruit color more vibrant (brix), the micro's will help your grow ; ) aminos help as well (soy&whey) but in moderation, I may have overdone some with Swift ? POP!
