Re: What am I doing wrong?
I had a java that took off as soon as it hit the ground. That winter was a hard one and totally screwed up the growth the 2nd growing season (grew maybe 6" taller) By the 3rd growing season I disturbed it because I moved but she grew to a nice 3 1/2 foot tall. By the 4th growing season I discovered a technique that worked. Stay on top of your pups. If your not going to grow the pups, chop them early.
I also changed the way I feed. The first of every month the plants get a good dose of 10-10-10
Then every 7-10 days I mix up in a 3 gallon bucket 1/4 cup urea & 1/2 cup potash. Mature plants get the whole bucket while younger plants get less
That poor java that been drug to hell and back has more than doubled in size this growing season and proudly stands over 9 feet with a trunk that's about 7" in diameter
