---- Mother Earth provided the nutes! My biggest worry in your grow situation is deer & munchie bugs like slugs & caterpillars. Beneficial insects probably took care of the smaller plant sucking insects, washing rain & air flow helped prevent disease, & the roots were probably nice & deep by the time the drought hit.
