Big storm coming through so I figured it's a good time to hit the plants with calcium nitrate (nitrogen won't burn off in the heat). Gave each plant one cup, maybe only 3/4. The thing is, I succumbed to the moron principle today like many growers do when they're not on track to win their weigh off: I figured if a little fertilizer is good, more is better, so I put more-on until I added too much (I'm guessing). In addition to the 1 cup of cano3, I put on one quart of slow release 24N-6P-4K-6S-3Fe. We'll see what happens. My three day growth for the 1041.5 was still under 30 pounds per day (more like 20 or so)so I went drastic. I probably should have really poured on the liquid kelp, but I'm out of it right now. My personal best (1038) was grown using granular fertilizer, too.
