All are now pollinated at least 2 times at the main vines, first ones maybe too close to the stump between 8-11 feet.
1622 Young pollinated with 1062.5 Stelts and vice versa. 988 Janowiak with 929 Kruger ( which I kept for pollinating purposes in a separate small patch). Lyons has first one with Janowiak (cross "decided" by my wife while I was away) and second one with 1062.5.

All seem to have taken, 1622 fruit is a very slow starter, but it has the strongest plant behind.Deadheaded some sides as they were pretty long already. Maybe it is still focusing on vegetative growth. Janowiak has be biggest one at the moment, with the weakest plant and only at 8' so maybe I go for the next one at 11'. Pictures will follow later, as I start measuring only at 15 days, which will during the weekend.

Applied Lithovit now twice since transplantation, nettle "brew" (very stinky) while watering two times and my own formula aerated kelp tea from dried kelp as foliar application yesterday. 1622 and 1062.5 deep dark green, so mostly I'm applying now only water. So I have kept my all organic promise.
