  Really learn a lot from your videos, you comment about roots popping out..how wet do you keep ground?

• 
  @docrodebaugh10 күн бұрын

  Good question. I try to stay 1-2% below saturation. So if my probe shows saturation at 30% I then shoot for 29-28%.

  @@docrodebaugh thank you . I bought a probe this year, same as Nick K has, he ran at 55 last year... it has done nothing but rain here in WI..had 5 dry days and my probe is at 57..so i have to contemplate watering for 1st time this year and at what level i am shooting for.

  Hello Doc ... great videos. I have learned a lot from them. Question: How long do you wait usually after pollination before you take the peddles off the female?

• 
  @docrodebaugh23 күн бұрын

  I remove most of the petals off 24hrs after pollination. The firmly attached area next to fruit is allowed to stay for another 3-4 days. It eventually softens up and comes off with ease.

  Looking good doc. Question for you. How long before you know if the pollination took place. Im Dap 8 right now and its growing slowly. Im juat worried because the day after i pollinated we had a heat spike and went from low 80s to 101 degrees

• 
  @docrodebaughАй бұрын

  Good Question. So I take photos every day of the fruit at the same time from about the same angle and distance. Beyond that I observe the coloration, luster, and nub health. All that added together gives me a good idea of growth and health of the potential set.
