Way too hot, wheres the RAIN! Trying to keep the second pollination of female blossoms cool. One on the Porkchop's side view on the 17th of July and one on the main of the Weibel from Yesterday. I am using jugs of water that are frozen and placing them around the pollinated blossoms. My first pollinations on both planted aborted on me, I think it was too hot and did not keep them cool enough. Both of the second pollinations are the size of golf balls. Also, I checked on my plants after work and I found that 2' to the end of main vine on the Weibel had snapped off and was laying on the ground attached only by a thread to the main vine. I am not sure, but I think my Weibel plant has Bacterial Wilt. It started with a few young leaves on a very healthy side vine, now almost all of vines have it. The young leaves start to wilt and discolor by getting darker from the edges of the leaves inward and they are now starting to curl from the edges inward. Also. some of the wilting is right by my second pollination on this plant. I am not sure what to do, please help! : (
