Second female on the 1789 Wallace at the 15ft mark on the main up for pollination in two to three days. Let's hope it fares better than the first attempt. First one did not take, it didn't really get a fair shake though, pollinated with 1, one day old male, endured a brutal two day heat wave the 48 hours after pollination in which I opted to give the plant warmer conditions to promote plant growth over trying to get a set. I did offer some shade for the early pollination attempt but even with with that, all the doors open and top rolled back 2ft the floor temps were over 100 degrees for much of the afternoon. Go figure, go all spring with very cold temperatures come pollination time an 80 degree day comes out of the blue. Should be much cooler and cloudier for this next pollination attempt on the #2 female on the main.
