Switched from the 'take root' rooting powder to clonex gel, seems to have a little higher IBA concentration and there are a few other people on this site experimenting with this, none that I saw using rooting powder. The powder does seem to have helped get the top root moving compared to last year, and wider bottom roots, though nothing like some of the journals I've looked at. Got a small female on the 2114 around 10 ft, thinking I will probably pass on it, try to get a little more plant behind the eventual pumpkin, but I've probably got a week to decide. Goal is for a pollination around June 25th, which would give me right around 100 days to the weigh off. If I have one obvious laggard plant/pumpkin by mid July I may pollinate 2 more on side vines using the other two plants, just to get a few more good genetic crosses/have a few pumpkins for decorating
