FINALLY – a normal looking vine! – the 1565, Day 30 post emergence– should be day 45 covered with male flowers and maybe a female or 2. Well, just thankful for this. The 2040 has developed a large ribbon main stem extending about 2’ with a kink – no split (yet) – had these in the past – they never finished a season – developed all sorts of anomies with bunched side shoots, splits, rotations. If I had a backup, I’d cull it. Anyway, happy with what I got. This year adopting a new secondaries care technique seen in other diaries – not bury sides, but just cover the nodes from a pile of special prep soil – includes 50:50 MC Potting mix-mushroom soil; 10-10-10. Kelp meal, Myco, dry Jack’s 20-20-20. Merit. 10-1000x faster than burying sides!!
