On the even of the fifth day, I realized that I have underestimated the aggressive growth rate of these genetic plants. I started out with the seeds in tennis ball containers with the idea that there would be more depth for the taproot. I turned the containers around and saw roots showing all the way down at the bottom, so I carefully transfered them to upside-down coffee containers. The forecast for the week changed so I set the plants out in good light, but with the temp at 60 deg. to slow growth for a few days. Should be warm enough early next week to put them in the garden.
I also noticed today that three of the plants are decidedly behind the other two in leaf development. These are the three plants that I assisted in removing the seed husk. I theorize that the plant needs the stress of removing the husk to stimulate strong grown. I plan to leave them alone in future years except for extenuating circumstances.
