Entry 12
I havn't updated in a while so I'll bring you up to speed. One of my dogs go to my first set of 10 and killed 7 of them. I have 3 of the originals left, the triploid, a purple and another little plant. I started 30 more on the 11th and 20 or so have sprouted. The weather is perfect (lows of 55 highs of 75) and I will plant the first three later today. The triploid is growing very fast. It is only about 4 " and has about 5 sets of leaves. The internodal spacing is non-existant. I need to dig some plots. I will be screening off plants because I have don't know where to put alot of them. The farther from my house the less attention I will give them, but if they are close and I visit it regularly I risk getting caught (which can NOT happen). So i have less than a month to find out what and where I'm going to do this. I hate the mid season paranoia of people finding your plant. I'm considering just growing a couple and making them perfect as possible. But if i grow less... i get less. I am going to get some pictures soon. I have plenty from feburary and I plan to make some more tomorrow. For right now i can post a picture of triploid I found on the web... Mine is like it but smaller. Notice how it has 3 of each leaf per node. If another whos grown polyploids reads this, tell me how they did... I need to know if this thing is gonna be 20 feet tall or jusy like 6-9 like usual.
