Hidden Valley Hibiscus Forum

Still not that many blooms yet  but the new growth coming in is looking nice. My hibiscus doing well dealing with the heat and lots of light reflecting in. I'm using extra organic N boost  in the  prime of my grow season now.  Homemade tea made from kelp 1-0-13, Sumatran bat guano 8-3-0, organic N booster 14-0-0 derived from soy protien hydrolysate, bacteria,  IN ADDITION to my regular feeding program. 
I hope everyone having safe and happy summer.

The amount of light and heat on Diamond Ring surprises me how it can cook and fry  for a few weeks or months out of the year.  Leaves all soft and wilted by 11am just crying for a cloud or it's evening shade.   Every year this plant  get's tougher and stronger.  Yes it frys and drops buds but when they manage to hang on, the payout is gold.

The concrete gets so hot I burned my feet.  With the white siding and hot ground it's scorching for Diamond Ring but I keeping roots cool.  This heat is exactly what I want.
 Saw this God's Eye pulling out the driveway as you couldn't miss it.

You're getting spectacular results, Kyle!!!!! I love watching your growing stories and your photos!

Thanks Cindy.   They coming along but it was like starting over growing new roots for many of my hibiscus.
I started building this mini drip system but still gota drop mag drive pump and attach the loop with smaller drip lines and drippers.   It's a 12 gal reservoir only designed to be used up after a couple days or up to a week just as long as air pumps in and by keeping water cool.   It's tucked in the shade and when it gets warm I rotate with frozen 2 liter bottles until cool air is pumped in at night.   The pH stays stable after I adjust it with pH buffers.   With this easy to use meter the probe can check solutions and the soil deep into roots.
