So you think the 1947.5 & 1768 both were maxed out on there size & weight?
Well the 1768 was hit with SVBs in about a dozen locations as I removed the screen as I thought it was to hot in the Kin cave 2 .So at about 800 lbs -1000 lbs I found the damage in over a dozen locations.I had to keep sliding The fruit back as my fruit positioning was poor.This caused the vine to split & a steady dripping went on for the last month of growth with a fan on it.We had 52 degree nights in the heat of the summer with 40s & lower in Sept.My soil was not perfect neither was my feeding.Under better conditions the 1768 would of hit 2000 lbs the genetics are there.I wont tell you all the mistakes I made with the 1947.5 as these mistakes is how I learned what will help me to grow a WR someday.Hind sight is 20/20.The 1947.5 would have easily went over 2000 lbs had I knew then what I know now.The 1947.5 will grow some 2000 lb kins as will the 1317.The genetics are clearly there.
Thanks Mark
