So my patch is 20.5 x 27 feet, really a respectable size for only 1 AG. I was faced with a difficult decision. In opposite corners I had a 1750 Martin & a 1738 Barron & they both were looking pretty good by my lights. But the 1738 B had bigger leaves with fewer problems & I chose it. The main vine is around 18 feet long with the longest secondaries around 16 feet. The main vine has 2 female blossoms & the 4 longest secondaries have small female blossoms at their tips. Does anyone have a suggestion for what I can do to encourage the female blossoms to develop? The plant has not received excessive foliar Nitrogen. I have buried some of the leaf nodes but not the ones that have formed since we were out of town. I used worm castings with 4 parts Mykos, 2 parts Azos & 1 part Rootshield Plus. Hopefully the pic will accompany this note.
