I've got 2 13.5 Webb's growing in a hoop house and it's my first time trying to grown giant lopes. Do I need to open the hoop and let the bees in to pollinate or do you hand pollinate? Are you looking for a set on the main vine? Mine look like a sprawling bush and the main vine isn't very apparent.

I don't think I have ever had one set on a main vine, ussually a smaller side vine is where you find the females. Some hand pollinate I let the bees do it. Sometimes it takes a while to get a good set.
