First two in the ground. 1014 Grande and 1094 Clement. Which shall survive?

Slow and steady

Easy to decide on the cull here

1647 Halverson-there she grows!

1014 Grande-a few struggles with positioning and sun exposure but has a strong base.

1014 Grande-we've had cool temps for the past 10 days or so. Hopefully some warmer weather brings a growth spurt. First female showing at around 7 feet.

1647 Halverson with first female at 9 feet.

Pollinated the 1647.5 Halverson this morning with the 1014 Grande. She's only 10 feet out in the main but with my limited space this will have to do.

1014 Grande in the foreground and 1647.5 Halverson in the rear. I've had all sorts of issues with the Grande. Double vine on the main which finally split into two singles-then I go and snap one of them while trying to position it. It's a very hearty plant with great foliage but brittle as hell! I've snapped at least 4 other leaves or secondaries off as well.

1647.5 Halverson at 13 DAP

1647.5 Halverson at 19 dap. Still no warmth or sunshine helping the girls out.
Thursday, July 21 View Page
1014 Grande at 7 dap. She's on a side vine and not ideal position but the others on this plant are later so at the moment she stays.

1647.5 Halverson at 26 dap

1014 Grande at 16 dap. Couldn't have more issues with this plant. Genetics???
Sunday, July 31 View Page
1014 Grande at 17 dap (this is the alternate on this plant)
Sunday, July 31 View Page
1014 Grande at 21 dap-most likely the keeper but with all of the problems I've had with this plant you just never know. I'm going to keep the alternate as long as possible.

1647.5 Halverson at 33 dap. Growing but slowing? This is probably as good as I can get with such limited space.
