It has now been a couple days since I noticed the tip of the main vine on my 980 Klinker damaged and not growing. It looks like severe wind damage, but is likely damage from me either looking for a little female or I just squished it while in the vine burying process. It also has been very hot here with no recent precipitation. So, it basically stopped at 12 ft. with all the females before that pinched off.
So what do you do?
I emailed Pap Wallace. He suggested I wait a couple more days and see if the tip starts to grow and to start training a secondary close to the tip to be the main. Thanks Pap.
So much for my "early" pollination this year. Even though it sounds like I am two weeks behind most growers this year already.
