I measured the mainvines on my plants today.
603.5 Muller(south)...9'5"

603.5 Muller(north)...7'0"...I accidentally broke about 1.5' off of the main, but may have had to terminate the main anyway, as it was a double vine. I'm training the nearest secondary to the break as the "new" main.

603.5(genetics plant)...5'10'...I plan on just growing the main and maybe two secondaries on this plant.

The two larger plants were a little beat up from the wind a few days ago. My pollinations will be later than the last couple of years for me. I just hope to take good care of the plants from here on out, with regular foliar feeding, fish/seaweed soil applications, and Garlic Barrier spraying. So far no Cuke Beetles seen here. My brother, who lives 5 miles away, had them show up five days ago.
My current plan is to do sibbling crosses on each of my three plants.
