Lanterra Update > Having lost my biggest FP fruit and splitting the main on the 1778 Daletas, I now have reverted back to what I do best and that is grow a back up fruit.
I hate those three words (Back Up Fruit). Never do I seam to ever get any luck in the patch.
The maters thankfully are mostly doing well as the 5.41 Landry's are populated with numerous mega blooms. The best of the first sets have now reached day 30.
Delaying senescence is really a huge concern for me. Being able to squeeze in a few more growing days may boost the numbers for me. To early to tell if anything will be worth bringing to weigh-off.
One thing that strikes me in the quest for every larger fruit is wounding injury's and the plants responses to such events. I have a mater that got a bit to heavy and kinked the peduncle. Naturally I thought it was finished. However I tied it up and left alone for awhile. I was amazed at how it had healed. After several days the fruit was still increasing in size! Well I went out and squeezed a couple more peduncles and they too seam to respond as if stimulated. This response is not unlike what I saw a couple of years in growing a large AGP ribbon vine fruit that had severe peduncle damage.
