Each year on June 21st I like to measure my vines for the sake of record keeping. This evening I measured my vines and this is what I came up with:
1425 Stelts 12.5'
1409 Miller 12'
1622 Young 12.5'
1161 Rodonis 12'
1725 Harp 11'
1325 Hopkins 9'...this one would be a lot bigger but I broke the main and re-trained a secondary as the main a couple of weeks ago...it was my biggest plant.
991 Urena 11'
1566 Rodonis 9'...something seems to be wrong with this plant. It never has been vigorous and the vines are scrawny, kind of like they get when you get a really big pumpkin going on a plant and taking away the energy from the vines...but this one does not have a pumpkin.
1288.5 Pugh 5'...this is the mutant plant that I cut off the quadrupling main vine and trained the best looking normal vine. I think it has a chance to recover and be OK.

The plant in the pic is my 1622 Young this evening with a female that will open at about 10.5 feet tomorrow.
