This is the 1217 Zappa 11' I havent measured it yet, but I am getting the itch to.I noticed a few beads of "sweat" on her today,very small and in about 8 spots, I hope it isnt an infection.

I have been moving the vine every other day just enough to keep it from rubbing the kin.

Every third week I spray an insecticide and fungicide changing varieties , and every week I rotate a mix of these fulvic, humas , kelp,calmag and a 8-16-16 fert with seaweed.

Today the temps are to be 92, and still no rain, I finally did the math ,the patch is aprox 320sq ft, and I put in 153 gals of water every third day. I dont know what this equals to in inches but if I dig between the tapes at 4" down, I can squeeze the soil into a ball but it will easily crumble apart as I open my hand,I think its still to dry.
