salad is just that...salad. my 997 reminds me of the best salad plant i ever had, the 1247 handy that never produced a normal pumpkin except some long warty freaks that never made it to fruition. the 997 has the biggest stump i have ever seen already, but the 12' aborted, the 15' was a deformed 4 lober that was pinched, the 18' is 7 days old and may have quit on me, and the 24' to open tomorrow is half orange leaves on one side and the other half green leaves like it is not sure if it will open tomorow or not. i believe it is a freak of a plant that has female issues. i will try it tomorrow and will let the main go a bit and try again in 7 days. a little late at that point and most likely i will let the plant grow wild and trim it from encrouching the other plants and let it grow multiple pop up tertiary or multiple secondary kins. i am still giving it a chance, but a dissappointment for such a great salad plant. i got some end leaves on secondaries well over 28" across. baybe it is the spot high on nitrogen and not the plant alone, but we will see. on the bright side, i will get some numbers...10 day on the 1306, 15 day on the 1446 #1, and a 7 day on the 1041 scrambled eggs blossum which is a pretty good grower right off the get go. watching the radar close tonight as a front is moving in. i will throw a comforter over the 1446 with a t shirt over it to protect from hail if necessary, and all other females have lawn chairs over them. damn the 997 is such a beauty of a plant. what a shame. i am going to hit it with extra vcp and 9-18-9 until the next female is ready to pollinate to see if i can straighten it out.
