Luckily the main vine of my 2198 was spared but all the secondaries have 2 to 3 leaves that look like this now.

I think I must have done it while putting on the mesh bag. It's fine honestly, this plant isn't really big enough yet in my opinion.</description> <link>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354055</link> <guid>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354055</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2025 18:43:15 GMT</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>07/02/2025 - with photo</title> <description>My second pollination on the 2198 is a mutant and seems like it's not gonna open up.</description> <link>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354054</link> <guid>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=354054</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2025 18:41:04 GMT</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>06/23/2025 - with photo</title> <description>I decided to double up my shade netting to try and minimize stress on the plants while it's 95+ degrees over the next two days.

All of this makes me think that this plant is just metabolically crappy.

I'll lay off the NPK for a while and hopefully that stops.</description> <link>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353133</link> <guid>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353133</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 08 Jun 2025 17:31:44 GMT</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>06/08/2025 - with photo</title> <description>This plant is getting roasted by the sun despite getting less sun than the 2198 Sperry. I am building a shade canopy this week so it'll be fine.</description> <link>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353130</link> <guid>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353130</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 08 Jun 2025 17:29:28 GMT</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>06/08/2025 - with photo</title> <description>2560 Gienger: this plant on the other hand is a bit bratty. The genetics are so amazing that i'm not really worried in the long term but here's what's going on.</description> <link>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353129</link> <guid>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353129</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 08 Jun 2025 17:27:38 GMT</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>06/08/2025 - with photo</title> <description>Instead of burying vines this year I'll be doing this. So far its working well and the adventitious roots have been dropping nicely. I hope it works out well.</description> <link>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353126</link> <guid>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353126</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 08 Jun 2025 17:22:45 GMT</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>06/08/2025 - with photo</title> <description>This is the only issue so far on that plant. A shallow split in the stump that is healing nicely. I would consider it a normal growth split and I'm not worried.</description> <link>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353125</link> <guid>http://www.bigpumpkins.com/Diary/DiaryViewOne.asp?eid=353125</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 08 Jun 2025 17:20:40 GMT</pubDate> </item> </channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
