I use 1/2 gal per hour 9" on center emitters. I have 590 gallons an hour on my inlets. Using the 7/8" mainline, with 30 psi, I can run around 480 liner feet of 1/4'' mainline per station. Max run off mainline with 1/4'' is 25', so yes, I have roughly 5 25' runs on each 1000, 4 on each 800, 2 on each 400, and 1 on each 200. I can already tell the 200's will have to be bumped up to another 12' line at least.
HD camera's baby. I should figure out how to post pics from it, because we caught a large bobcat on camera. Pretty cool stuff.

Been behind schedule with my plant chores this week. Had some work scheduled this week, so I am playing catch up. Hope to foliar today, with some fertigation over the next couple days. I will post up some pics soon.

Neemed last night, about to hit them with my AEA line up. Foliar Time Baby!
Bobcats have a wicked "scream" sounds like a baby or a woman dying.
Our neighbors captured video of a bear trying to make its way into the vineyard. That was about a month ago. Just last week at the bottom of the mountain, a mountain lion killed 2 cats and a fox. It must have been full as it left the fox's hind leg behind... maybe fox leg just isn't that meaty.
Nice growing Foothill.
what all are you spraying them with??

This is what lead gave me. I have change what I do based on my soil reports, such as I don't add PHT phosphorous when my P levels are high....ext ext.
FOLIAR FEED ONCE PER WEEK
RATES FOR ONE GALLON:
4 ml. PhotoMAG
2 ml MicroPAK or individual traces needed based on soil recommendation
1/8tsp Micro 5000
8 ml. Sea Shield
2 ml. Sea Stim
2 ml Sea Crop
4 ml. PHT Phosphorus, PHT Calcium
I have also been substituting the PHT calcium for Albion calcium. At first I said I didn't like it, but after studying up on the product, and seeing everybody with calcium issues early in the plants life even though soil reports show adequate levels of Ca, I completely changed my tune.
Here is another bit of information lead turned me onto, which I will pass along. Worth 15 minutes of your life, and you will figure out why everybody has Ca issues early in the plants life.

I should also mention that everything I got from lead pertaining to what products to use has been gold. However, it seems the rates he gave me are low for what large outdoor plants require. So keep that in mind as the plants grow, and apply it to what I passed along in the post above.
I am already feeding at full strength both foliar and fertigation and my plants are hungry!
(the only reason I am mentioning Lead is to give credit where credit is due. To be clear, Lead was a ton of help. I am not saying anything against him)

RckyMtRdnk - I mix all of those products in the same spray bottle. Those are per gallon ratio's. Just a light mist is needed, not a drench. However a drench doesn't hurt a thing.

Thanks Foothillin. I have seen foliar rates posted in the forum up to 1oz per gallon of these products. 2-4ml is much more in line with foliar application rates I'm used to. It's a much more affordable amount as well.

No problem guys, here to help and share.
Took some early morning picks. Plants have recuperated from the hail, and are taking off with the higher temps. Enough jibber jabber, on with the pics.

I be deppin'
88' cherries. Hard to picture with all the leaf and small nugs
Tangie. I have one pheno that smells like hay. Never had that smell while the plant is still growing. However the other three phenos smell GREAT! Should be able to harvest in a week or two.
