Status- 1501 Wagner 12’L x 19’W and growing like crazy– 3 pollinations – 9 days ago at 9’ x 2112Skinner on main stem – 9 preceding secondaries - 17” circ; 2 days ago with a borrowed 1457 Gansert on main stem at 13’ with 14 preceding secondaries and today x self, 8’ out the first secondary. Plant expanding almost a foot/day – only a few feet left to the limits of the fence. Looks great
2043 Big Bubbles – 12 L x 15 W; 2 weeks younger than the Wagner but with bigger leaves’ biggest 19”. 2 female flowers just starting near tip of main stem and a nearby secondary. STILL – not a single male flower has matured and bloomed – a few candidates slowly growing. Maybe I buried them with the nodes. Will be more careful. Looks great.
Have not applied much extra fertilizer beyond commercial dried bagged sterile mushroom soil, 10-10-10, gypsum, borax and epsum salt that I rotolled in in last fall and again this spring. Just 3 applications so far of fish and Kelp emulsion and Jacks 10-30-20 and the concoction applied with each buried node (see 6/15)
