Once that foundation is laid I'm good. Over winter this plant filled a ten gallon container with thick fuzzy white roots edge to edge while adding about 12 inches in height and 5 new leaves.
Side note.... this plant outgrew a Viente (Cohol) under the same conditions by 3x....pretty robust outcome for being under lights, this was not expected.
I'm a firm believer too.. Big Fuzzy roots leads to big healthy plants.. The Plant being referred to above is AE AE if your wondering..:^)
