I did a double take 4-5 gallons for 3 plants.....maybe this is a
typo..................this might be your number one problem! Some growers
water an excess of 100 gals a day per plant site......if you have not been
watering your hole patch the roots won't go into dry dirt......if you think
this is it start adding more water and slowly work up to at least 50-100
gals for the plant..every other day..as you get late afternoon sun..and
watch...mark the the growing tip and and see if it start to
blast....off......good luck...brock
