703 Guns: The fruit on at 12 is starting to grow, I had kinda bad angle to the main on this one and was hoping to pollinate one about 6ft down the main tomorrow but upon closer inspection the birds had did a number to the flower exposing the and damaging the lobes.

I deceided to just cut the main after the 12ft fruit and run my last set of secs up in front and grow a half spider out. This will make it a lot easier to not have to battle with that stem stress over the next month.

Note: There are some fine surface cracks on the stem which i
cleaned with alcohol and applied captan too.
