I just posted a few pictures to my diary this morning of my once beautiful 2075 plant and Kin. My questions are:
Will the Kin maintain/pick up the pace like normal?
Any new special care I will need to do i.e. fungicide?
Should I try to let terciaries fill in open spots?
Or is it just going to be a problem child all year?
Any input is much appreciated!

The pictures aren't up yet. But these plants can recover from damage. I am dealing with early groundhog damage. I do use tertiaries to fill in open spots. If you have damage to the fruit you will want to keep it dry and treated with fungicide. The growth might slow down some, but there isn't anything you can do about it. It is too late to start over, so you might as well do your best to keep it going. You will learn how to deal with damage in the future, which is sure to happen.

Plant will recover ...I’ve seen worse...leave leaves on as long as you can..
Kin might have a hiccup but should resume what it would’ve have done
No special care with extra fungicide but be more attentive to your rotation...
Tertiarys, yes only to fill space ...sorry about the freckles try to keep dry until healed...good luck

You shouldn’t have a problem as long as your kin didn’t get beat up to bad. If your still growing secondaries you’ll have new leaves coming.

Theres definitely hope. You wont win the howard dill award but size wise keep the plant well watered and see what happens
