The 1467's hoop sides were lifted up so the many side vines wanting out can escape. The front is also off since the main vine has reached the end. It has a 13' main right now and is looking strong and healthy. I put a little basket over the main's tip, which has a little female on it. The 1502's hoop will get the same treatment tomorrow. It's only a couple of inches shorter than the 1467. The 1191 is at 6'7" in length; a good gain for the week! The 1164 is so incredibly stout-vined; once again, it's growing upward, and with the cool temps, I didn't want to take any chances with burying its main vine today. All other vines are buried on all plants. All plants got some soluable nitrogen foliar/drench as well as some Ortho Max sprayed on leaves. Tomorrow I have to get the patch totally ready for a week-long absence. I have trained my patch helper in pollination and watering. I am hoping that no pollination needs to happen until I return on the 30th. The baby females on the 1502 and 1467 are super tiny and on the tips of the meristem bundle, so I'm hoping they'll hold on for a week or so. It will be exciting to see how much the plants have grown when I get back.
