the heat is on and staying on. no measurable rain for 2 weeks. i soaked ....saturated...all my perimeter soil not covered in misting heads just to get the living community activated for future root systems. blazing dry heat. normally we have heat with humidity. high uv heat and low humidity means a lot of misting. and shade cloth over tips and females. the cool water will cool the small females through the shade cloth as opposed to if covered with small tables. the 1723 at 9.5 aborted. the 1647 at 11' stopped developing mid stream. neither scenarios upset me much as both plants need more greenage first. problem with 1647 similar to many 1725s is the gap in females. next one will fall about 18'. every set all week will require fans and ice bottles. a good jump out doesnt always mean success. and tomorrow i have 2 pollinations with only 3 males available from the 1303 sweet and none from others. had 10 open on 1303 this morning. doh. i will give 2 males to 1723b at 15.5 feet and one to 1303 at 15.5. i really think the 3 day old set on the 1303 took as it is shiney as can be and almost laid down. funny how the plants decide which and where they set. it sometimes makes the culling decision easier....especially if none to cull. lol. all in good time.
