Marv,
Last year Mr. 977 Andersen did a brilliant study on which direction the
main will go......this is especially important for those that do the x-mas
tree style......he found in his observations that the main would shoot the
opposite the the first true leaf..........I wasn't sure if it was a joke or
not but "down under" it did the opposite went toward the true leaf......did
anyone else put it to the test........??
last year i did a test on fertilizer.............tried just adding Super
thrive,miracle grow, liquid kelp,water soluble 16-16-16, liquid worm
castings and bat guano, and last but not least seabird guano........to my
surprise the seedling with miracle gro did the best..........50 days to go
and honing the skills.................do i go on hunch or reason on seed
selection going nuts trying to predict the
future....................AH!!!!!!!!!!!...Chris A says find my aura
.........then go with the hunch........having trouble
finding.........anything......brock
