1725 harp tonight. you can see up the main to the right the 2 shorty stubby secondaries on this side that have not kicked in yet. they are not deformed, but another sign to me of a very stressful week on the plants and the soil community. another reason to drench in the morning now that the the patch is finally dry enough to water the products in. the female at 13.5' will be open in about a week...again i hope cuz i do not see another one in the cluster and the next chance might be out past 17' or so. the one at 12' never fully formed in the heat last week but the 13.5' one looks good so far and the weather in a week should be ideal for pollination. going further out this year and even up to 20 feet would not break my heart cuz i have always wanted to grow one that far out on a main. plus it is still very early for pollinations, but they all get set from here out and we will see how it plays out.
