Looking good today at DAP 17. The backup was culled this morning so the main vine has now been terminated too; it's all or nothing now. Pumpkin is looking OK so I don't see why not. Side vines and tertiaries have been very slow now for several days, which is a good thing as the plant directs its energy into fruit production. I sprayed with triacontanol to push things further. Watering is still only with biologicals and I'm trying to keep the SMC at 25-40%. The tunnel is too large to heat properly at night so I am directing what heat I can to the younger part of the plant. Temps go down to 12-14C but would be 8 or 9 otherwise.
