Here is a shot of the 901 Hunt. Its been keeping me busy with pruning and burying vines. I've been trying to get every single root innoculated with Pumpkin pro myco, kelp powder and humic acid powder. It's alot of work but hopefully it will pay off down the line.
I am a little concerned because some of my leaves are in less than perfect shape due to getting cooked in the direct sun that shines around the edges of the patch where the shade cloth does not cover the plant in the afternoon. I like my leaves to be in perfect shape as much as I can. This plant does not tolerate heat well at all until the leaves harden a bit. If I weren't using shade cloth this plant would probably be in really bad shape. I tried 22% shade cloth over the plant but it bacame obvious that 22% was not enough so 40% is now being used and it works fine.
