This is what I did! I tore out the first secondary on each side of the 1620 Pritchard plant, which I had “swooped backward.” This gives the 2501 plant another 150 square feet to grow vines. This was an easy decision for me. New roots are “hungrier” than old roots, so I think this extra space to grow more roots & leaves will benefit The Slunger more than it will hurt the 1620 Pritchard fruit. If I’m going to get this baby up to 2880 pounds, it is going to need all the leaves & roots it wants to grow!
