On the other hand the 2907 clones are absolutely sensational plants with very short internodes. Both plants are identically strong and that’s why, despite having some cloudy days you will be astonished but tomorrows day 20 on the clone A. So just to chip in on the plants growing past the pumpkin; if you have the room it’s madness to terminate the growth at the pumpkin. At 1200 sqft we will typically have half the plant behind the pumpkin and half in front. That’s roughly 22 secondaries behind the plant ish. So why 22, well that’s because the first vine will be just about done by the end of the season. And why continue past the pumpkin? I’m sorry but I really don’t see why not as that part of the plant is in great shape at the end off year. It’s all about those last very important pounds. Put it this way; you get to the weight off and your pride and joy is 1999lbs Is that the point you wish you didn’t terminate at the pumpkin. Now I will add this. Stuart and I have become reasonable growers because we have been willing to change and in the future if terminating at the pumpkin is proven we will be the first to change. Good luck to you all, this is our time to shine. Ian
