Default Re: early start

would like to update this.My plant that I had that never turned brown was my Saba.When I pulled this plant from under the house it was green with a new leaf showing.This plant stayed this way,it was the last one to break.since then it has been struggling.The one leaf came out then half of leaf;now as of today the newest leaf is about 8 inches.The other plant mentioned was a Dwarf red.this plant did benefit from starting early.This plant sent a pup then the main stem and is now planted in the yard and growing fast.I did alot of chopping this year always looking for the "Green".I will have to disagree with cutting the stem till you see green.This never happened for me.I cut five plants this year and never any green,for me it was white.I really feel that this cutting back led to rot on others.Thanks guy I will post a few pics to help with my story.
