Re: main vine determination off of seedling?
Matt,
The main vine will go in the opposite direction of the first true leaf.
Additionally, If you look at the bottom of the seed, you can seed two
holes. One is at the very bottom of the seed at the point and the other
is up a bit higher. Nine times out of Ten, when the seed sprouts, the
main vine will go in the opposite directions of the hole on the top. If
you direct plant, this will give you a shot at positioning the seed in
the direction that you want the main vine to grow.
Of course there are always exceptions .......
