Pulled three plants this weekend. 2177 - whatever the opposite of a silver bullet seed is, this one was it. I think I got a 'brown bullet' seed. 2365 - disease got it. Up the main vine and to the pumpkin. 1965R - unfortunately, wouldn't set fruit.

1315 Wolf 25 (2387 Daletas x 2365 Wolf) This is one of the plants that suffered due to a good start - it outgrew the little greenhouse too fast and was permanently set back by a cold windy spell.

The 2465 Sperry started off strong, but I accidentally burned the main tip when it was little. My efforts to retrain new mains didn't exactly work out like I wanted, so I let it go feral. 980, 500, 378, 344, and another 200 on the plant.

2207 Wolf 05 (1783 New x 2021 Hoornstra) Very nice plant to grow. It was keeping up with the numbers from my 2493 from three years ago until I had to remove most of the plant on August 21. I had already done stump surgery, which was mostly successful, but I eventually noticed problems down the main. I kept cutting until it looked better, which took me up to just a couple nodes before the stem. I was down to 100-150 square feet of plant.

It was a wide, low, red pancake that rode really well on the trailer. I was a bit shocked at how heavy it went to the chart.

Top view. It took up a lot of deck space.
