just got done feeling the kick in the balls that only this hobby can do to you. lol. i was adjusting my 1185 daletas main to get some curve in it for a female at 13' that was gonna open in 3 days or so, when i noticed a brown line on the main about 1 foot in front of the female. and not the good infront. by infront i mean between the stump and the female. and then i saw it. the brown line was a clean crack that runs against the vine about 1/3 of the way through that looks to have happened maybe 4 or 5 days ago. it was healed a little bit but the brown was definatelitey rot starting to set with all the rain that has hit the crack. i had about a one minute fit that used to last me a week to get over. just took the scissors to the main and i am starting to train the new main vine tip from the closest secondary to the break. that puts this plant behind 3 weeks, but damn, she will have a lot of strength an energy built in those secondaries by then. oh well. the other 2 plants have of a nice curve set in place and are in position to pollinate. the 1385 in maybe 3 days at 13' and the 1161 in 4 or 5 days at 12'. all the plants have way too much energy in them for my liking from the 4.5 inches of rain and now starting tomorrow we will have hot temps for the first time in the high 80s all week. time to hang on and go for the ride i guess. got the fans and extention cords ready for pollination in the high heat, the ice jugs are in the freezer and the white lawn chairs are over the females. i will say it one more time, it really sucks to lose a main before getting a female pollinated, but 9' was way to close and it is what it is. it is over. i would much rather try a new secondary to be the new main tip then baby a cracked main to only have it possibly rot out with limited production. it's over, time to make a clean cut and move on.
