Re: Tip Blow Off

One possibility is a build up fertilizer in the soil and then a large amount of water being applied.
That could cause a sudden surge and possible blow out.

So what have all you other growers concluded when you go out to the patch in the morning and find the tip of the main vine snapped off.
Could it be your growng rival from up the street or is it a sudden growth spurt that blows the end right off.
I havn't found any traces of critters,animal or human.
and very little wind ,atleast not enough to break the tip at approx 6-8 inches back from the end.
