The 990.5 Young has stopped growing and is developing a ghost white appearance I don't know if it was too much heat or what happened to it. It stopped growing about day 22. We have had 18 100+ temps this year, I did find a few squash bugs and sprayed them with bifenthrin, we do have 22% shade cloth over entire plant. The other patch is doing well have 6 set and 3 are in day 20 or close to it, they were all open pollination. Pictures and measurements to come soon. One side note on the 990.5 it is still in the ground and I let one pollinate out about 22' and will see what it does, it is about day 7.
