pollinated my one and only chance at 14' on the 1209 since the rabbit or other varmint damage is at 14'8". i have the fan with ice bottle between blossom and fan going and will leave the fan on it til it either sets or aborts. i am picking prime females on secondaries with good locations and letting them develope just in case and same with 1725 just in case. i have a nice secondary before the damgage that i will retrain into a main and whack everything after it and run it out and let some terts become secondaries if needed if this one aborts. but this one was a beauty five lober and hit her with 6 strong 1725 males. i added 20 more perimeter misting heads as i burnt about 6 leaves on all 3 plants total due not misting on an 83 degree n.e. wind. i should have known but the hazy sun and dry heat was like a burnt leaf/ozone damage perfect scenario. no biggie, but more heads will mean better coverage too as some outside leaves were barely in the misting zone. i also checked stumps and put small tables over them to keep them dry the rest of the season. i have a fan blowing on the 1493 at 11.5' and a table over it and it will open tomorrow and get the ice jug treatment too. 2 more following her right down the line are covered with the small tables. the 17.5' female on the 1725 is still looking good and should be open in about 4 days. next one is deep in the cluster and will be at 22' about so this 17.5' has a fan on her that will stay on her and covered with a table in the heat this week as i really need her to take. saw my first svb today and sprayed last sunday but will spray again tonight.
