LanTerra Update > No surprize what can go wrong will go wrong. I culled the early pollination on the 1778 and went with a second fruit on July 2nd that aborted. Stuck with a very late July 12 fruit set on the main about 20'out that was 30" on day. It is a good shape and terrific positioning on the vine. However a rabbit took a chunk out of the top on day 5. Logan 3 has survived the attack and is putting on 3.5 to 4" per day. Growth will ramp up as terminations are almost completed but this is a very late fruit and it will need to grow extremely fast. Root growth on all plants is simply amazing as the hormone treatments seam to be working very well. The fruit growth needs to speed up if I have any hope at all. 6's & 7's are coming every day very soon. Yesterday gain was 3.5".
Cabbages are doing OK after an attack from moths last week.
Maters are progressing well with on set on an early 4.51 Landry 11 that is a 5 or 6 bud. really excited about this one.
209 Werner 12. Great plant at about 800 sq. ft. pollinated the first one yesterday on the main about 16' out.
Vine burying is taking about an hour per plant every third day. I am juicing the soil with a broadcast applications of myco, humic acid and a 5-15-15 granular. Also hand digging one spade depth ahead of each vine spreading this mixture as I go.
Sprays are mostly once per week and consist of phosphites and other supplements including maple bud syrup and relief the ethylene blocker product that is thought to delay senescence. This along with the IBA, Cytokinins and
anti-oxidant treatments should keep these plants chugging along well into September.
