The 854 Johnston on day 50. Its main vine is a 9.5' feet long, and this morning it finally opened its first male flower. In 2006 my plants reached the same size at a younger age; I'm at least 3-4 days behind right now. Then again, I haven't been babying this plant very much (no fertilization, whereas in 2006 the plants were on a regular foliar feeding schedule). Last weekend the main vine was advancing by 7" a day, but it looks like it's growing more slowly now. The weather this week has surely been less-than-optimal (overcast most of the time, and not particularly hot).
