wow, thanks a lot 9skis. i figured i was doing something wrong seeing that the main stem is not getting any thicker. ill get a new pic up tomorrow night(with an actual digital camera)lol. i however did buy a sack of white rocks to put on top after i transplant, where you saying to put some "red lava rock" along the bottom? the temp home has a bottomless opening for watering from the bottom, i usually water from both directions. and ive added about 15 drops of mir-grow into a liter of bottled water. and i also mist the youngin from time to time...my thank you's for the advice!
