There are two weigh-offs in October (not sure which I will go to 7th/13th) and I am trying to time pollination day. This year I started earlier with the intention of having a bigger plant at pollination time.


Now, I guess that I'll be pollinating everything past 10' but what would the best scenario be?.....

a) Pollinate say at 12' with 98 days to weigh off

or

b) Wait a week more for more plant behind the fruit and pollinate but with only 91 days to weigh off

I think vine positioning for each fruit, shape and growth rates should play a big factor in your decision since days 91-98 you'll have limited fruit growth in pounds\day.

If you get one that continueZ to grow....just think what 7 more dayZ may mean for your personal best....The vineZ will continue to grow...until a few weekZ later...so you will still put on leaveZ....Good Luck..!!
