1725 has produced 3 nice fruits, this the best with an OTT of 77. Pictured are the 3 fertilizers I've used (Jack's used sparingly) plus a little 10-10-10 and Kelp meal mixed in with Mycorhysea with each node burying. The bed is mainly mushroom soil. Tried to bury almost all the nodes on the main vine and all the way out along the secondaries. Ruthlessly cut every tertiary I could find. Now that sufficient fruits set on all 3 vines, starting to cut the blossom off as well. All vines have reached the limits of the fence, and so growing tips have all been cut. I never enter the patch without my scissors.
