It's a trying time watching and waiting to get the cuts done ,then hoping it don't die from shock or refuse to continue growing,I'm sure it might have done okay without it ,but I have been using the foliar feeding once( sometimes twice) per day to make sure it has what it needs to be healthy,she turning into quite the monster ,and now that she's past the point I thought she'd make it to,I gotta read the rest of that tutorial to see what's next..lol...
