1248 Sundstrom is doing great..really putting on vine size. I also set this plant up about 10" on a sand mixed mound with sand, kelp meal, great white, mollases, epsom salt, finely crushed egg shells and a 20 ft 1/4" perferated tube that I can add co2 to the root pit area. I also bought a used food processor for 3 bucks at a salvation army store and use it for chopping up styro egg crates for use in potting soil I make with my cement mixer, lol put a bunch of that chopped up styro in the root pit soil also. Mixed all this up in a new garbage can and dumped everything into the peagravel based root pit (48" x 48" x 24" deep) with 3" of volcanic crushed stone ontop of that soaked the stone with humic/mollases tea prior to putting in the mixed up spotting soil. This Plant is the best I've got out of the 5 kin plants growing..very aggressive. This is the plant I'm going to put blue BMW headlamp bulbs on at night for 4 hrs timed from under the leaves for cell stimulation in the leaves and will put a layer of co2 mist across the leaves 30 minutes before the lights shut down via and old self contained oxygen machine I found at the same store for cheap..and small fan on the same timer kicks on to broadcast the mist..I keep thinking of the old movie with the doctor on that Island.Island of Dr. Noe? or something ..lol.
