Well its been a busy few weeks or so. I lost my job 3 weeks ago. Found a new job here a week ago and been working my ass off and haven't had time to post anything.
The marrow on my large plant was cut off a week ago. It stopped growing at 40lbs. Plant was really old and needed pulled.
I pulled the big plant out due to rotting stump and vines and also cut the stump of the smaller plant.
Funny thing is though. I cut the stump of the smaller plant and now the plant literally "took off".
The plant is actually healthier now that there is no stump and there is actually a marrow growing pretty nicely 20' out on the main vine.
My big plant I could only get a marrow to take on a sidevine. Would be funny to see if this stump-less plant will grow a bigger marrow LOL
