The 1339 Adams is growing nicely. This plant is going to have a lot of space to fill. Nearly 1,000 square feet. I plan on curling the secondaries around to go parallel with the main. I guess you would call it a spider pattern. I have noticed that when you don't dead end the secondaries you get fewer of the "pop-up" tertiaries. Which is good because I won't be pinching any tertiaries. Another benefit is that I have yet to see one of these spider patterned plants get foaming stumps. One last thing (about the spider Pattern) and I am not quite sure if this is a good thing is that the pumpkins don't seem to get quite the huge gains in growth. I have seen far less splits with the spider pattern and more slow and steady growth of the pumpkin. I am not sure it is the best pattern to used but it does have it's advantages.
