Here is a shot of the 1102(#1) Huydic. The main reached the end of the greenhouse a few days ago and that end wall was removed. Main vine distance is probably around 12 feet. The side vines are also starting to spill out from underneath the greenhouse. This plant is in our preferred position as this end of the patch is wider and has more space for side vines to grow to a fuller length. Something I noticed a few days ago is that the immature tiny leaves on the growth tip seem to now be coming on short and deformed. I wonder if maybe the plant was shocked by exposure to the cold night air for the first time? It still is getting down to 48 degrees or so. Because of this I set up one of our old smaller greenhouses over the growing tip with the heat lamp centered on it. Hopefully the plant will adjust and kick right back into high gear.
