Second female on replacement main due up for pollination in about a week. My gamble with using a single one day old male off the 1647 Wallace on the first female on the new main didn't take. Wasn't a great location that's why I took the chance, one thing I wasn't counting on though was the next female being 10 ft further down the main. Basically moving the next pollination date 7 days later into an already short season. Up coming female is in a great location and by that time will have a lot of power in the plant so I plan on pollinating for sure. One thing I have noticed there is a larger than usual spacing between the females on this plant. Could be a trait of the 1723 genetics, but hey, I'm all for it if it grows big pumpkins.
