SH-3640 flies north
I picked up these beauties in the mail ..
Dwarf Nino and SH-3640 next to a Namwah from forum member gmichal403 They were potted this morning in 37 degree weather.. Bare rooted corms were planted in root manageable 3 gallon landscape containers for the winter. The planting medium is a premoistened pearlite/peat moss mix salted with mycorrhizae and rooting hormones. This is a 60 degree difference from Hectors garden to mine. Currently resting under 900 watts of flouresent love. I told Hector they went from the frying pan to the freezer. These plants will be interesting to manage in zone 5/6. I do think the SH-3640 will be a beast....lets see. This is a very late season grow for me.....so I am anxious to see a new leaf.....in December... Thanks Hector for these precious plants.........I will grow them like I stole them.. Plants are currently resting in the Jungle. dwarf niņo and SH 3640 by Hostafarian, on Flickr .

I cannot wait to see what it does in variable conditions like mine. It is great to have the real SH3640 and not the poser that was teased on the forum a few years back!! Southwestern Ohio had a nasty windstorm and broke every leaf on the TaNee and they all had to come off, |

Your Namwah has set some roots and is showing signs of life. For me this is a late season grow with plants which are not established in a pot. I like to grow in the summer instead of bringing the summer to them. I can tell the will be beasts from everyones photos. Now I cannot wait till spring |

Re: SH-3640 flies north
After 60 days these plants look EXACTLY like the day I got them in the mail on 10-20.
BUT down below in the soilless mix roots and a nino pup is developing. I did have to trim the Nino a few inches because the stem was desicating and hindering the new leaf ...the leaf should emerge in a few weeks...January or Feb. The Pstems have firmed up(stopped wobbling because of root structure) nicely in the containers and are transpiring moisture. The Sh-3640 is even pushing a few grains of Hectors sugar white sand from the leaf sheaths. I ought to do a contest as to when the first leaf will emerge on the 3640.....February March April May ???.... |

Re: SH-3640 flies north
90+ days into the grow and all is well.
In a few more weeks it will be 120 days Some desiccation to the outer stem which should peel soon. So far so good. SH 3640 by Hostafarian, on Flickr |
