here is Tre', the 3 lober on the 885 #2 plant, that has grown 5 inches per day for the past 5 days and was 51" this morning at 6 am on exactly 14 days old. it looks more like its mama my 885 shenoha 2004 estimate on my 1301.5 plant last year with the long shape. it is outgowing mama at this stage last year by about 4" circ., and it is only 2.5" circumference smaller than Noah at the same age, so hopefully Tre' and Noah can both hold together and give me better odds of having one go big and still stay in tact come october. Tre' had some minor stem splits this week in the middle of the stem running along the stem from rapid growth. it got a fan on it the last 2 humid days just for insurance with the humid conditions from the reminants of Hurricane Dennis. the splits were addressed with captan also and have healed fine and are very minor, but better safe than sorry. this weekend with extreme 95 degree heat forecasted, the big high powered stand up kitchen fan will again be used as shown in last week's diary posts. it works real nice at keeping the air temps under the tarps cool on days without wind and didn't effect the pumpkin growth at all when used 3 days in a row last week in the heat.
