The main candidate on the orange 1501 up to 65” circ and est wt 107 lb. The best on the 1613 62” but only about 87 lbs. 1501 vine done growing =- no room. Has only 5 growing fruits and about a more small female flowers and the weirdest looking 1st secondary that is huge, flat and appears to be a conjoined twin vine – double female flowers. A small kin about halfway down that branch is sticking straight up! Switched to Jacks 10-30-20 foliar application today with Heritage and Merit. Vines in EXCELLENT shape – best ever. Used the LEAST fancy additives this year, No fish emulsion, teas, etc. Just nodal mix (see above) and Jacks foliar sprays. Did apply phosphite once – plan at least another application. Sure hope we have a normal weigh in this year and that the crazies don't cancel it in their fanatical rush to save the human race.
