Another week another prospect on the 1161 plant. Newly set pumpkin on the 1161 main at the 25ft mark day 6, should have plenty of power behind it once it takes off. Pollinated the #8, 4 lobe female at the 28ft mark on the main on Saturday, with 4 males off the 848 Lilja plant, backup incase anything goes wrong with #7. I terminated the main today about a foot past the #9 female. Season will go down the drain basically if I don't get a set with #7 or #8. Saturday was solstice day and now were on the downhill slide towards winter. If this hobby teaches you anything it is how short the season is up here.
