Put all my eggs on one basket today. Inthe offseason I talked extensively one night with Larry Checkon about hitting the 1000 pound mark. One topic stuck to my mind. Set one, and go for it. I went to day 10 with 2 fruit on my 1402 Bobier, the first at 12 ft, the second at 15 ft. The first one hit 32 inches at day ten, while the 15 ft one only hit 24 inches at day ten. Instead of wasting the plants energy on 2 fruit for ten more days, I have decided to go for broke and have just the one. If something goes wrong with it, I grew one hell of a plant for nothing.

As for the 1502, I am down to 2 fruit also, 27 inches on the 10 fter, and tomorrow is day ten on the 13 fter. I am pretty sure which fruit I will be going with on this plant also.

Stay tuned..
