That long skinny thing is a node root- a top one. Burying vines with the right treatment paid off this year. I found several top node roots that were over 4’ long before they broke off pulling them up. This plant was the best rooted plant I’ve ever grown. Those healthy top node roots are key in my opinion. Even though everything looks healthy, I have a history of high disease levels. Pythium, Fusarium and phytophtfora are all present. A disease panel will be the first part of next years plan, so a tissue sample has been sent to Western Labs.
