man i have to start proofreading and check spelling in entries before sending them. ugly. tomorrow i will be pollinating the 11' female on 885 #2 plant with 5 flowers from 885 #1 plant. gonna be hot so out comes the frozen jug and styrfome cooler trick. it got Ole' Crackey pollinated on a 90 degree day so i will have to do it tomorrow and most likely wednesday too. a fresh jug will go out every day this week and when it hits 96 on thursday, they will both get 2 jugs of ice a piece laying next to them about 3 inches away from the blossum and covered with a styrofome cooler sitting on top of 4 dobie bricks so there is no pressure on the main. i do not have to be at work until 9:30 am tomorrow so i will be putting up a shade tarp over all female blossums on both 885 plants' mains to prevent them from cooking. i have the shade cloth over the patch and the misting system set all week. i read a post by joe pukos about continuous wet soggy female flower petals that never get a chance to dry in hot humid conditions can lead to abort problems. so i will keep the females dry with the tarps over them and still be able to mist this week.
Ole' Crackey is gonna be my only good chance on the 1247
because at day 5 the deformed 4 lober is not doing all that much, but is getting bigger. the Crackster was exactly 21" circ. this morning at 6:30 on his 10 day mark and was 23" tonight at 8 pm. with this hot weather, i am hoping for over 60" in 10 days. aj piezynskin just hit a bloop single to put the White Sox up 10-8. YESSSSSSSSS!
