took a vacation day as things were a little slow at work today. adjusted early morning bamboo, did some weeding then took a nap. woke back up from a cloudy cool drizzle to a intense high uv day with little to no northeast breeze and low humidity. in my fenced in hard this equals some of the hardest days on plants coming off an extended cloudy period. yesterday was hot and sunny, but the back of my neck this whole after noon feels the intensity of the clear high uv sky. only 74 degrees but i watered the plants with misting system a complete hour after seeing 2 individual leaves of the 1303 flagging at 11. the 1303 is the only one flagging like this late morning and have to believe it is growing so fast that the roots are having a hard time keeping up. this pic is my set up showing both main vine tip coverage with small tables and bamboo cradles at accute angles to the ground and also the female at 9.5' on the 1723 being shaded for insurance and to prevent from heating up too much as still nothing in the cluster visable without going too deep.
