My plants are crushing it. I've never seen anything grow like this. The temps have been in the high 70's to low 80's for a week now. 781 Frantz is over 3 feet long now with at least 5 secondaries formed between 1.5 and 6 inches long. All others will lay down with the next couple days. 317 Lawrence has a very yellow vine, leaves are dark green. First warning sign is the 603 Muller which has a 1.5 inch split at the stump. It's no matter. I blew my load lol of Merit on the plants today, to curb the damage on the 669 and all possible injury to the others. If I don't get a storm tonight, then I (maybe) will be good until September. The plants got a serious foliar soaking and soil drench of Merit. I severed the chewed leaf on my 669 Muller just in-case. If the bugs, and the plants for that matter, live thru the drench of Merit that I provided today, then they deserve to live. If one of these popcorn thunderstorms hits the patch tonight, I will be truely pissed.
