both enemies arrived this week. the cuke beetle on 6-7 and the svb today on 6-11. i sprayed last weekend with talstar one but the fall weigh off plants have grown over 3' this week in every direction, so tonight the demand cs is coming out along with a merit drench. i pollinated the second one out at 15' on the 1247 on 6-10 with 6 males from the 1247. Timmer pollinated his 1446 second one out at 12' with the 1247 males. when burying his vines, he went a little deep and covered all male blossums, which took a little longer to pop through the soil and open. hoping his third one down the line at 15' will have plenty of 1446 males when it opens in about 3 days. he wants to self the keeper 1446 and he is really liking the positioning of the blossum and the length out on the vine. i am hoping either of my first 2 pollinations on the 1247 take because i noticed a small healed crack right after the second blossum on the main.
my third one out at 18' will be after that crack and will open in about 4 days. the 1247 main vine is already the thickest main i have yet to seen in my 4 years. i will get pictures this evening. because i am not sure if the first 2 females are completely set in this high heat, i have let this plant take up much of the 905 ailts' area. i have curved the main towards my fence and will snip off secondaries out this far, but the 905 will have about 450 sq ft at most to grow in. i am working at training the vines on both plants right to make the 2 head to head growing x mas trees squeeze together in there rectangular shaped area.
