Got switched back to first shift, and there's some OT being offered this weekend, and I just can't pass it up, this Pumpkin stuff is expensive and I only have one main with a second for a carver at this point. More than likely the 8' will open Sunday, and that means I'm going to be tired with the extra work and lack of sleep. But I don't half ass my hobbies so.....looks like I'll be getting up extra early at some point in the next 3 days to pollinate a pumpkin I hope gets culled......hmmmm seems illogical. Funny thing is I hope to someday have a lot more land so i can grow more of these....really seems illogical. but the real reason I'm posting is, main grew 8" today and looks like the second female will be at 13'. Also first male flower will definitely open on the "dream machine" tomorrow. I decided after its main vine split, and the inability for plants to grow in the lower portion of my "patch" I dug a whole and stuck the whole 3' x 3' tub right in the ground and gave it to the "dream machine" it looks "pressured" right now, from the split but a female just appeared in the tip at about 10', no many secondaries on this plant and I believe its due to the split. One last note, concerned about male flowers on the 1408 Kline not opening in time for the first pollination attempt, if so I will use the flowers from the other to cross.
