here was a picture of the 735 pukos to the left and my 885 to the right. i was just telling a fellow grower last night that is hard to cull my own backup plants when they are doing better than the proven seeds. well good old Mother Nature made this tough decision for me. it was time to decide which ones to keep, so i got down and closely examined all plants before doing the deed. no brainer for the 905 as a keeper, beautiful and aggressive and no cracks or splits on the stem or the 1.5' main. the 1016 got whacked. then i went to the 735 and my 885 in the other greenhouse. i moved a little dirt from the base of the 735 where the stem meets the main vine. and thats when i saw the color brown. the 735 stem had 2 mini splits, one in the front and one in the back. couldn't have been wind cuz they are in greenhouses. might have been the squirrel that Timmer saw scampering out the greenhouse door 2 days ago.
maybe it got freaked out feeling trapped and jumped on the plant or something when Timmer walked by. or it was just a case of the splits from rapid growth. who knows, but i will say i am happy as hell to have made sure to move a little dirt away from all the stems for close inspection before deciding which to snip. i put some captan on the splits last night and this morning they were still oozing. too deep for its size to bank on, so the 735 got snipped and i will get a chance to finally see what one of my own plants can do.
