and here are the battling 1209s with a little over one foot mains. these 2 had second true leaves that both were impeding the law down process. they were left on to support during the early leaning process and slowly i dug a little deeper each day to allow the process to continue. then when i got into some shallow roots in the digging process i decided to give both the second true leaves on these 2 the whack to let them down nicely. some plants do not need this procedure, some do. these 2 had huge second true leaves laying with leaf surface directly on the soil. no way unless i kept digging through the shallow surface roots for more clearance for the 2nd true leaf stalks for the plants to lay down like i like them. they are both basically down and supported with bamboo over and under and will be completely down by tomorrow. won't be long before i make the culling decision and i am leaning on going with the one to the left based on its patch positioning and slightly stockier base of plant. not much difference in these 2 at all an am very happy so far with their vigor an ability to take the hellish heat thrown at them last week. these 2 were also started on 4-19 like the others and are 25 days old since the seed coat was shed.
