Glen, on the 1995.5 Hoornstra plant is Dap 30 today and comes in at 239 OTT, just short of 300 lbs. Yeah, of course I gotta move my hooptie cover a little bit and get it wrapped but so far we’ve had no rain and I swap out the white sheet if it gets wet from watering, so there’s been no rush. Plants are still growing but also showing the signs of slowing down moderately. The Hoornstra plant still has the main vine growing and 7 secondaries, once all the secondaries are terminated we can let the main go as far as it wants. The Sandercock plant has the main vine terminated at the fruit but still has multiple secondaries on each side that are growing (albeit slowly) and will eventually fill its allotted space. It could be a sink/source issue on the Sandercock plant that is holding it back, but the plant was smallish at pollination and stalled shortly after and was in suspended animation for several weeks when our weather turned off in Juneuary.
