also, the transplanted backups are looking great so far with no signs of csm damage. again, knock on wood. the 1209s are beauties of plants too and very aggressive early on. one of them will get removed for the 1725 recent sprout if the1725 is genetically sound once i see it grow out a few days. this will give me the option to self the earlier 1725 plant and sib the second one. the 1209 will be tough to cull later, but proven genetics wins for the odds of it all if both are healthy. the 2 1493s backups transplanted in the smaller greenhouse look so much the same it is wild. hoping their selfed qualities of emerald rich green leaf color, a crazy root system, and vines as thick as my wrist qualities are present like their mama selfed 991. and a big long boat sized 1500+ lb pumpkin would be nice to see too. lol. the first true leaf looks exactly like last years 991 with it longer and sharp tooth like pattern edges. this changes in the second true leaf but looks cool early on. the root systems of the 1493 were exploding out the pots at transplant. i have to leave these 2 to compete with their earlier start because this area loses midday sun for a few hours more and more in the month of september due to trees so the earliest pollination is critical for this spot to put the weight on earlier when the sun is higher. so if all goes well, the new lineup will be a 4-19 started 1725 harp, a 4-28 started 1725 harp, and a 4-19 started 1493 shenoha. do i dare say it is GO TIME again? why not, i just said it. bring it georgie boy, i am back baby!!!!!! (until tomorrow that is...lol...anything can happen in this insane hobby. i love it. all part of the insanity)
