Well, Im about 200 lbs behind last year so I added 2.5 lbs of 0-0-60 to my most supple looking fruit. Its currently growing at 10 lbs per day( about 400 lbs now) and the sun is due to come out. Interesting experiment to see if she blows. Watch out Mark I may be commin after you !

Not enough to blow her Dave..Add another 2.5...LOL...I put 3 lbs on my small 112 today..Now she'll probably blow cause shes already showing signs of going down..Problems around stem area..Not stem,,but in the grooves of the ribs by stem....Good Luck...

Dave, If you're really going for it let me know. I still have ample hormones in stock. Sulfate of Potash too. I may have one stuck on the 821 if the stem split heals. I literally injected it with hormones from a hypodermic needle this afternoon. There's just nothing left to lose so....Weeeeee!

Auxins, giberellins, cytokinins, & the like. Plant growth hormones. Plants produce them naturally but man has also synthesized & marketed them. There is no evidence that they would do anything much this late in the season....but I'll let everyone know.
