Ok, So...
After watching the Peruvian Serlano stand still while the other seedlings soared high above it towards the warmth of the MH bulb, I decided to do this:
Gently teased the roots from all soil in question and repotted with some stuff I mixed up, as opposed to the store bought, bagged crap...
One week later we have this....
Immediate response to being repotted in a better soil environment!
It's on now boy's. Good luck, here I come

Yeah... my serlano has remained exactly the same size for about 2 months. I will have to try the transplant method.

I tried growing in one of those before.
NOT!
NOT!
Looks like something you'd see growing in a Martian spacecraft.romy6 said:Or put it in a AeroGraden

I came home May 17th to find that my PS had damped off while I was away on business. I typically let my plants dry out and then give them a good soak before leaving for several days. This time it was too much. I was heartbroken. The sight really punched me in the gut and took my lunch money.
BUT y'all sent me seeds so I wasn't about to stop there. I cut the bad area off, stripped most of the leaves and prepped it for cloning. One week later she is sad looking, but there is new growth starting. I might be out of the competition, but I'm hopeful for at least one pod. I'll keep posting. Happy growing! Have a safe Memorial Day. A big thank you to those who served and those that continue to serve!

Now that's dedication. If you want some advice, remove the largest leaves. It will help with transpiration during rooting.NeedsWork said:I came home May 17th to find that my PS had damped off while I was away on business.

Lucky, Ive gotten nothing, the last of the seeds are on an agar dish to see if they go.

Growdown Peruvian Serlano, well on its way to being the tallest, weirdest plant you've ever seen. Hopefully!
As you all know by now, I'm not big on pruning plants. Normally, I just let them pump out the growth and the pods as they see fit. With this plant however, I will be implementing a very focused pruning regimen. Planning on letting this one grow in 85 gallons of compost and other goodies. Train it up the gutter downspout on the back patio
