here is the patch view tonight looking at the 1185 in front, the 1385 in the center heading left and the 1161 on the far end heading right. the females on all 3 plants were pinched today. both the 1385 and 1185 were longer females, and the 1161s are round as can be. all 3 were between 9-10 ft. there is a female in the cluster of the 1185 that will fall about 12.5' and will get pollinated for insurance reasons, like in case another female doesn't show until 18' or after. no noticable females yet down the line on the 1161 and the 1385. when they show, they will also be pollinated and should fall after the 13' range. i would love to start seeing females stacking up every other leaf junction at this point. starting to hook my main vines on the 1385 and 1161 to give the mains more room as they will be approaching the fence. you can see on the 1185 in the front how the secondaries on the right are way ahead of the secondaries on the left just like last years 1041 plant. 80 degree temps all week should kick things in gear a notch.
