Today I got the nerve, one of this batch had sort of funny seeder leaves and not hoisted a primary yet (it was the darwin award one) so I pulled it, then continued to cull. I left two, took the others to the dumpster, then came back and took the other one because it wasn't near this size. Fat Fred is the only one left, at 10 days since broke ground and 9 since it started to open a leaf. It has hoisted real leaf one and you can see leaf 2 there, ready to hoist and start vining. I put my hand under the leaf... I feel sad but it also needed to be done, just that these are such a large scale--on tomatoes they would be weeks and weeks old. Siigh. Now just to wait for the next two days ick then it gets warm again. 82F today anyone? :) (tomorrow 52...forecast...) Oh yeah the ones I culled also had seriously branched off from the rootball already and made themselves part of the bigger pot full of same mix.
