1209 this morning in its new smaller greenhouse. the shazzydome had to come off yesterday between round one and 2 of storms. i took a vacation day and had friends carefully help me remove the shazzydome. it is more suspension supported so once all the bottom stakes and rope suspension ties are removed it gets more flimsy. the 1209 and 1725 were 6" from the edge and i still wanted good clearance to avoid damaging vine tips. then i put of the spare small greenhouses that were stacked up in the garage already. these had damaged zippers on the doors but some wire ties work just fine. back out went the space heaters this morning. i had to use a crooked alignment to get both greenhouses over each plant without damaging leaves or small secondaries. i pruned my first tertiary today off the 1209 which is throwing strong secondaries already and is a beauty of a plant so far.
