Here is the second fastest grower at the beginning of day 12 with a circ. of 27 inches. This one is starting to speed up since I terminated the main and started pinching more secondaries--it also has a nice thick blossom.

Notice the bend in the stem where it joins to the main. I was a little late cutting the tap roots, and the weight of the leaves kept the vine down and it started to thin/stretch the stem a bit--i hope this does not effect future growth. I pushed the vine up with some foam blocks to allow this one to grow better. Also, I put a bunch more sand around it. I will be growing this one on sand without foam--just too much trouble to get the foam in there.
