The Eaton is considerably bigger than it was a few days ago, but I don't think the cool weather and constant rain is helping accelerate growth any. I didn't water it for three days (even though much of the plant is covered from the rain--the soil does absorb the rain as it moves down the mound). I have a female on the main that has been ready to open for a few days now--she might open tomorrow. She is not in the greatest position--certainly not 90degrees to the vine. I hope I can set her though as it looks like I may have lost the other two on the main. Nothing else has appeared on the main and it is at about 25 feet now (lots of females on secondaries though). I dead-ended two secondaries at 10 feet, and will dead-end a couple more probably this weekend at the same length--seems long enough, don't want the vines to become predatory to the plant. Trimmed tertiaries--much easier to pinch them off when they are tiny. The other main (at 90 degrees to the main-main) is at about 11 feet as well, and it has a couple of females too--vine is nice and thick--we'll see what happens there. Still very early, and I seem to be well ahead of the game, so I have some options yet.
