Doing battle with aphids today for about an hour. Leaves still look okay. Not sure why I have aphids in this warm weather. I water in the afternoon for about an hour and fifteen minutes, but the leaves dry before night. I will start doing the foliar earlier--say around 4:00pm--so they don't dampen later on. Nice to see more new leaves than I thought were on the plant. Hopefully this warm weather allows a good second crop of leaves to show up--although most of the old ones are still pretty good--standing straight up, which is a good sign.
I measured the smaller one, it is at 228 OTT (or about 256 lbs). Definitely smaller than the one on the main.
Also, talked to a heavy hitter over e-mail who says he got 100 days growth from 4 of his plants last year. Things may be looking up more than I thought if I can keep my plant healthy. I am on day 36 for fruit right now--so another 60 days would be unbelievable--even if growth slows down some.
