1738, picking up steam, too big to take top down pics. Looks like it will be orange. 10 in ott gain past 24 hours and increasing daily.
I think I am not watering enough as the surface soil was quite dry. I think ill start a schedule of multiple periods of drip and overhead watering to keep it moist all the time.
So far no disease. Fungacides include daconil, agrifos and eagle. I also think the root shield is working. Pesticides include A LOT of merit, foliar and drench and bifen. No sign of white flies, aphids or mites. All other sets aborted on the main and sides Ill keep pollinating on the sides as insurance. 14 sides yet to terminate when the space fills out.
