Re: flat vines
Its kinda interesting that Jack thought that flat vine was caused by too
much N. Maybe its the "too much" part of anything that causes some stress.
Seems like there could something to his thought. I haven't had flat vine in
years and have one now. My plants looked weird so I stopped the Ag-k foliar
and they look better. Maybe that Agro-k program is too much too early.
Especially if the weather is causing slow growth. Interesting you had some
two years in a row on the program. I used to think it was caused by funky
weather but you can see how interrelated the two thoughts are. One of the
mystery we will never know for sure. A flatvining 1068 Wallace sure doesn't
make my day. There's always hope they'll do what yours did and split into
two.
