Day 50. 2174 Outgrew the tent while away on vacation. 1st secondaries climbing the walls. Vine kinda screwed up. 13’ long with 6’ and 7’ 1st secondaries, several missing secondaries along the way and several starter secondaries. Good roots set. Maybe the vine figgered it should limit secndaries, already encountering limits of available space and concentrate on length. Makes sense. At least 3 male flowers and 4 female flowers which were culled. Last night leading tip just inside the triangle, this afternoon 9” passed it. Will start pollenating after 14’ on the main if males available. The orange 1114 Brown growing in the opposite direction has finally started to pick up the pace. Moster hot weather this week has turned to cool drizzle. Turned off soil heating cable and put up the permanent fence yesterday.
Starting to think, neglect is the way to go.
