Found a SVB hole in the 1060 18 inches from the fruit. Decided not to do surgery but instead I injected 5ml of admire solution directly into vine both above and below the hole. Drenched the area in the vicinity. Thought the plants were protected from previous drenches and repeated sprayings. First time in years I've had to deal with them. All ag's still intact but battered after the heaviest rain I can ever remember. 2.5 inches in 45 minutes. Wind snapped one sunflower, flattened the sweet corn but the tall corn escaped unscathed. Tall corn is not going to be as tall as I hoped. Plants do look good. Melons as a group suck. Can't seem to get the plants dialed in. Probably set both 207's too early. Fat but short and the gains are not there. The 207 hydro looks great and is producing nice females but so far all pears after pollination. Have a surprise open pollinated melon about 45ish pounds that appeared under its bench but hoping to replace it with a new one with known data. 305 hydro producing deformed females and may get pulled this week. Still have 3 other melon plants with no pollinations. More gravel to be ordered for the driveway Monday.
