All of these figures are from yesterday but I got back late from work. Were fairly sure that the 2009 in the West dock started to net over early because it was getting stressed due to a very hot period when it was around 300lbs. The plant gets blasted from sun coming through the south side of the glass and although the watering was ok probably shading the whole plant would have made a big difference.
All sorts of plants try to reproduce if they get under stress and good examples are Hellebores. We get young plants in spring and around now we have to pick off any “stress flowers”. These are just random flowers that the plant has made to try to reproduce. Not the best description but I’m sure you will get the idea.
Anyway on day 60 she is 1057lbs up 109lbs for the week.
