38 DAP. Growing about 4-5 inches per 24 hours on the main and the secondaries are finally coming in well.

I had to uncover the 754 for the first time so I could expand the hothouse. Direct exposure to sunlight is the only thing I can think that would cause excessive flagging to occur. No foliar sprays and no fertilizers for a few days so the only variable is direct sunlight.

It is a bit distressing to see the clorophyll in the leaves disappear between veins. However, I have decided NOT to worry about anything this year. Last year, I worried over everything and now, I am just letting it do what is it supposed to. Needless to say, I am much happier.
