I enjoy talking to people all over the country who grow CPs. One of
my main fancies is the VFT and trying to get different forms/mutations
of it. I had the opportunity to talk to a grower by the name of David
Crump. David lives in Charlotte North Caroline and has a small CPs
business. David buys a large amount of VFTs and pots them up for
resale after a year or two. Most of Crumps plants are grown outdoors
in bogs, all year long with excellent results.
Crump has been trying to find a way to enhance the growth of his VFT
plants without jeopardizing there health. He use a small amount of
liquid based fertilizer on them with excellent results. This is only
performed during the growing season and only once a month. Anyways,
recently, Crump was telling me about a wholesale grower who was
experimenting with "milk". Yea, you heard me right "milk". This grower
would add some milk to the water that was used to water his plants.
Apparently, this formula is used as a form of fertilizer. He claims
that VFTs enjoys the protein in the milk and that the milk stimulates
there growth. Yea, I know there are alot of different types of milk
out there, I just don't know what formula he uses. I don't think you
are going to grow a VFT with "superjaws", but it may be interesting to
experiment with milk and VFTs. Just don't get carried away and start
buying cows.
