Default Re: New here quick question.

Good to see another local member. I’m about 3 hours north of you on lake Toledo Bend. Your plant looks awesome! Congrats on the flower. As far as making winter it just depends on the winter. It will make a very mild winter but not a winter like last year. You can bag the bunch with a clear plastic. It will keep the frost off the fruit if they just needed an extra few weeks!

But since it’s just flowering it’s not gonna happen. Not worth saving it. Most pups that come up in spring end up flowering late fall. I like to “reset” mine. Choose a pup to grow around late spring/early summer. Then they will enter winter at full size! And they will have the best chance at the pstem surviving winter then blooming springtime or summer!

Some varities are fast enough to bloom and fill in one season! They are called “short cycle” with techniques you can have many ripe types by most winters! On top of that there is advanced techniques to push faster vegative growth and speed filling.

Feel free to contact me anytime and I can show you some of my research and methods.
Good luck on the flower,
Ty
