All wallace plants were grown in the same manner.
germinated late april then under mini greenhouses 5-5

We used a totally organic seed starter plus added micro-organisms to mix, 5" peat pots , temp of 90 to 95 degrees.

750 sq ft plants, 12ft sides min before fruit, all fruit set 12 to 15 ft out. Added micro-organisms at planting and sprinkled small amts into shallow trench as we buried.
Only potential problem side vines were removed. Main allowed to grow until late september. All third stage growth culled. 10% organic matter in patch.

No june pollinations, all were between 7-1 and 7-8 all were either 4 or 5 segments.

We buried main early on and sides all season. uncovered main after borer season.( sides will eventually uncover themselves if not buried to deep what with watering and rain ,etc.)

1,502 was 150 lbs plus over the charts, 1,450 was 110 lbs and 1,347 was around 75 lbs over.

With the exception of some of our insect and fungicide sprays all foliar sprays and soil additives were organic.
We used a soil soup spray every ten days along with sea crop added before spraying.
Put down 100 pounds of humic acid and 80 pounds kelp meal in patch previous fall.

I sent Mike pictures of the 1502 & the 1450 last week & they're up on AGGC now.

Jerry - email them to me & I'll get them to Mike if you want. His email is a little funny sometimes.
