Fantastic assortment of plants. All looking great. That Chocolate Hab with the stem loop is wild. I have never seen that, except maybe on a tree. It will be interesting to see how that baby does. Need more pics down the road. :-)

Those babies are looking fine skealo, congrats!

 

[ABurningMouth]

Very impressive cart, plants, and thread you've designed there.

 

[skealo]

Thanks!

I sprouted them in early Feb. I got about another month to go.

Yeah, wild hab stem. I've seen roots go curly or spiral on sprouts but I've never seen it on anythong that big. Cool.

The curling could mean they're getting light that's too intense. Some species are more senitive than others so try putting it in a shady corner or raising the lights.

Your hard work has certainly paid off Neal. Everything is looking great.

Everything does look great! Just wait for all of those pods and tomatoes to be bursting off those plants.

Wow look at the size of that yard! That's bigger than most parks here in cali!

Thanks for the compliments! Here's what the yard looked like the day we bought the house 3 years ago.
