Been raining a lot. 3.4 inches in the last 3 days. More forecast for tomorrow. Might start building an ark LOL. Plants still growing like weeds. Getting 8-12" on main and nearly 10" on sides every day. The one that I pollinated on the 1368 Liggett is growing. I will let it grow for a few more days so I can see what happens as it lays down. Then I will cut it off. Looks like the 1368 will be ready to pollinate another one at 12.5 ft on Monday -- maybe Tuesday. The 1108.5 Miller at 10 feet never opened up. Had another one on a side vine that came on early that didn't mature either. Wondering if somthing is wrong. My soil test showed I was low on both Potassium and Phosphate. I ammended as recommended, but as fast as this thing is growing and females not blooming, I'm wondering if it is still lacking. Hit it with some 0-52-34 last night, Let's see if that helps. The one at 13 looks like it might be ready on Wednesday. Have one at 15.5 on both. Hopefully one of these two will be "the one". I'm running out of room. Only time will tell.
