Good news and Bad news. Good news is today I turned 18 years old...

Bad news- Lost 1701 and the 1807.

1807 aborted day 19 likely to heat stress. 1701 stopped doing anything day 24, around 200 lbs. (Today is day 27). I went out today and the fruit was soft. Plant health took a fast downward trend leading me to suspect possible YVD. Sucks because I only saw a handful of bugs all year & been spraying for them every week.

I have another pollination tomorrow ill try it just for shits and giggles. If it truly is YVD ill know when that one aborts and remove plant off site..


1807 has a 4 day old pollination on it looking good.
