Well I have encountered something I never imagined was possible....In the last few days I have noticed No growth on any side vines on either of my 2 plants, though the main vines still grow slowly.
All the side vine tips seem to have cluttered with males flowers and have stunted.
I emailed Pap, and thanks to his quick response, tried removing some of the bunches of male flowers and hoping some tiny 3rd stage growth will grow to make new secondarys. It even seems that the newer secondarys within the last few feet of the main tip are not growing either.
Maybe a defiency in my soil.....I havent sprayed the vine tips with anything. I will be doing a soil test here soon....but it looks like my plants are ending early......
Plants look very healthy but what a heartbreaker....time will tell :(
