Nice looking plants Paul
Thanks, HM. fingers crossed they make it to plant-out.
What's wrong with the lateral forking?

I think the issue is outgrowing his indoor grow area before plant out time.
Exactly. I was hoping to avoid topping them
since they are going into 7-10 gallon containers
outside eventually.
 
I'm open to topping them, but would rather let
them grow naturally.  We'll see. Trying to wait
patiently before topping any of them. There is
room on the table top to spread them out a bit.

Go, Ducks!

wow man those are beautiful plants!
Thanks, Scott. I'm looking forward to the
Sugar Rush Peach since it's not so lanky
and I haven't topped it, yet. Be nice if it
would continue the smaller stature and
growth habit.
 
The bacccatums got a little fish fertilizer
and kelp extract when I move them to
the table. The wilds will get the same mixture
in a day or two to combat some of the yellowing
I see. I also need to get some cal-Mag or Epsom
Salts to add to the fertilizing routine.
 
Time to get some Happy Frog and Ocean Forest
potting soil, as well.

Those are some perfect leaves Paul. It is definitely hard to keep an eye on that many plants and they all look great...
 
Thanks, HM. Yeah, I kind of overdid it a
little on the First Round   :rolleyes:  I'm kind dreading
getting the annuums up and running.
 
I bought two used 2x2 T5HO lights, so have
to find a place for the wilds to make more
room on the shelf.
 
I hope you find a way to get a handle on your
watering routine. You are right about the small
containers and water use as the plants get larger.

You would be making Rich Blood a very happy little No-topping advocate, Paul...I quit topping last season, in lieu of the inevitable "trimming back" that occurs when branches get too leggy to be convenient, even caged...
 
...Besides, when they're happy enough to fork at one of the early nodes, that defeats the purpose anyway, right? So keep the damned plants happy then..... :high:
