Hey folks,
In 2004 I got my start with purchasing Plumie seeds.
I read a good bit and followed some advice from a plumie madman
(yes Erv)
He helped to create DR. Malestrom as you know him today LOL!! 8^D
These are some of the Results
(I have limited what im showing as I dont want to write a book)
These were all planted on January 19, 2005
These are all in 3 gallon pots with Malestroms Black Dirt. 8^D
This is the result of Intense light and fertilizing from the second set of leaves at every watering

Here is a 15 month old seedling from Noams Nursery Seeds he was so kind to send me. This is not my tallest but one of my Favorites as it has a very unussual top.

I gave one of these to Micah last summer as he couldnt stop looking at it.
At only 6 months it was over 30 inches tall 3/4 inch thick and had roots coming out of the bottom of a 3 gallon pail and were growing into my deck planking LOL!! X^P
We litteraly had to tear it off the deck! LOL! 8^D
This one has 3 branches that all have this odd way of branching out.
No Inflos lol!!

Many of my seedlings have infloed at only 8.5 months,
However being inside didnt provide enough light or heat to do anything.
The inflos were huge but only provided branches.
Currently I have 4 Seedlings with inflos and they are ready to go out!!
Well... I hope this stirs some interest in seed growing for you all heh...
I have many many multi branched seedlings
I have many that I have shaped the roots on to resemble bonsai
I have several I am bonsaing
Sooo there ya go!!
Oh almost forgot.
I applied some of the same science to a seedling Linda (WER4GZS) sent me
It now has 2 branches at the base and 8 tips up top with an inflo LOL!!

I almost forgot to post the Scarlet tips on 2 of my 'Noams'

I thought the flash would ruin the color, these are a deep magenta, almost purple color.
I appologize for the fuzzy pics I had to change the batteries.
I figured it was good enough for now lOL!! LAZY...
