Applied Bayer T&S 1.47 Imploiad. Total applied 4.5 ounces per plant. Applied mainly at the stump area and along the taps on the main.

Sprayed bifen this evening, it's been raining since, i will prob have to reapply.

Found a main vine split on the 1009 young pretty close to the stump where the first secondary comes off. The split is vertical and about 1.5 inches long but split open about an 1/8 of and inch. Found this on Friday (20)removed all dirt from area cleaned area really well, cleaned with rubbing alcohol, applied fungicide, I have been trying to keep it as dry as possible. It looks like the split is starting to heal.
The 1009 is moving along nicely, it is at about 11.5 to 12 right now. I have a female on at about 10 and 1 that will fall at about 11.5 ft. I will pollinate both. The secondaries are growing very quickly.

The 1062 and 774 have a couple leaves that dont look so hot the 774 is worse with a few leaves with dead edges. Not to sure what this is, I will starting applying fungicide at the end of this week. They are both at about 10ft right now.
