Indoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17

The plant certainly likes the addition of the grow light as the main vine wanted o grow up and the tip is now making about 180-degree turn back toward the light. Bamboo stakes are being used and slowly and carefully move the main vine in the proper direction on a daily basis.

While the plant has “touched down” the main vine developed a little bit of a pinch point so a few extra bamboo stakes are being used to stabilize the vine. The little damage that did occur does not bother me as there is only a slight splitting of the vine that is parallel to the main growth. As I see it, this will only help prevent (or at least reduce) the chance of the vine foaming later in the season. However, I think it will heal/seal-up as the season progresses. I have just not seen growth like this especially considering the season’s weather pattern.
