1436.5 Liggett day 45. The plant had a mishap in the wind the other day and got 3 cracks in succession across the main about 2 ft from the end. They weren't completely through, but it was right in front of the first 2 kins and I was skeptical about leaving them since they were about half way through, deep enough to disrupt the flow of nutrients and on both sides of the vine. I had a sneaking suspicion they would get worse as the vine grew especially when trying to make the turn at the kin. It's still early so we cut the main, and turned the side to the front. Let's see what she does. Current length is 11 ft 7 inches. Since we cut two off of the main, it will be a few days before a new one shows up on this one. The sides are throwing females on the tips though, so it won't be long. The sides are longer on this plant than the other two. Square footage wise this one is probably still in the lead, but not ahead of the Weston by very much at all. And truth be told Johnathon's 525est Puricelli may be out in front in square footage now. They are all doing extremely well.
