7DAP and kin#3 showing growth like it means business. Kin#2 was a dud, stopped after 5 days. Had to undo a little main vine training and get things leveled and settled at the kin#3 location. The heat index today was a brutal 118F (99 with 78 dew point), I probably have some young leaf and growth tip damage. My fault because I let the soil surface dry out completely and lost some evaporative cooling. We got 2” of rain tonight with some strong thunderstorms and winds, some leaves laid down and a secondary or to blown over, but none the worse. Over the last two weeks we’ve dodged some catastrophic hail and winds, so I’m counting my blessings.
