I noticed 3 yellowed leaves around "Wally" (1256.5 McKie X 649 Spada )tonight. Looked for SVB frass, found none. Then I found this: a split in the main vine. Applied Dermabond glue (usually used for gluing people skin together) to the main vine split while pinching it together. This will either save or destroy Wally. If glue got extensively into vine, nutrients to Wally may be cut off. If glue stayed on surface, Wally may continue to save nutrition. Sprayed fish/seaweed/Nutri-Aid combo tonight and also measured plants:
"Carl" 1297 Ghaye x649 Spada OTT=243 = 310 pounds
"Wally" 1256.5 McKie x 649 Spada OTT=226.5 = 254 pounds
"Pollen" 649 Spada x open OTT=220 = 234 pounds
"Dinosaur" 649 Spada x 1256.5 McKie OTT=223 = 243 pounds.
Lil' Buddy not growing much and I've let several open pollinations go on the 133.5 Borton est. plant. Other open pollination pumpkin on this plant is 40 pounds. Won't save seeds as these pollinations are open but will have many smaller AGs for Halloween. Send your get well wishes to Wally. Dismal weight gains over the past 7 days due to cool weather and too much rain.
