The cool rainy weather continues, more rain and low temps. One good thing about that is good fruit set, but very slow early growth, eg 26" circ on day 14 on the 753. Have never had one start so slow. Plants are very strong and green, every leaf in great shape so far, no sign whatsoever of powdery mildew!
The 753 Lloyd is an awesome plant, very big stump developing, some huge leaves, approaching 400sqft in size, main out 24 feet. Tomorrow will pollinate the 5th fruit on the main at the 22 foot mark, maybe its the keeper?
The 1097.5 Beachy is a difficult plant to work with. Attributing that to very depleted soil in the area its growing. Have had about 6 sidevines grow oval shaped straight up and snap, hard to train. The fruit at the 13 foot mark is looking strong at 7 days old, haven't measured it yet. The main is still touch and go and about 21 foot long, it will be cut at around 25 foot.
The 1260.4 Weir is the strongest plant I've seen in my whole 4 years of AG growing. The secondarys are all like main vines! Its scary indeed, everything is so solid, lets see if it can make a fruit just as great. The fruit seem quite short in the stem, and long shaped, 2nd on the main will open tomorrow at 20 foot out! Who know's what a monster plant like this could grow.......
Vine burying has been a major effort the last few weeks. The plants are growing so fast. Barely keeping up. Lets hope all the hard work pays off! Need to take a few photos.
