Yesterday was significant because I decided to cut the main vine of the 781 Frantz off. It had a rotting split in it and the vine was growing exceedingly long with very sparse leaves and no females. I cut it at maybe 17 feet out and trained the end secondaries in a horseshoe as new mains. Both have multiple females on them. I pollinated two on the 603 Muller this morning at 14ft main and 8ft secondary, both were self pollinated and had 5 lobes. I used 3 protected males for each female. The 663* Andrews was selfed near 14ft out on the main this morning. It had 5 lobes which seemed slightly deformed/ more spread out than I'm used to. The 669 Muller didn't open this morning and will have to be open pollinated cause I ain't getting up early tomorrow!
