Re: Thousand Finger
Excellent! I just planted a baby one the other day from jimmy.
I have to give jimmy props as he was great to buy from. He stayed in almost constant communication and the plants he shipped arrived quickly and in great condidtion. |

Re: Thousand Finger
Thanks . It's going to be interesting, the p-stem is less than 6'. This might be a 200 finger.

Re: Thousand Finger
Mushtaq - my 1000 fingers flowered in 10 months from planting and it took off immediately it was in the ground - the fastest of all the varieties we have - I guess we steamed it out!!!

Re: Thousand Finger
Hi Cassie!
Yours definately took off running out of the gate. I've heard of many variations of vigor between this same plant from different locations. It's either hit or miss I guess... I presume they have something special that they like that makes them take off wherever they are planted. What do you think?

Re: Thousand Finger
Jarred - who knows, but this is very interesting as the 1000 fingers that did so well was planted close to the ladyfinger that disappeared underground for 3 months until it finally sprouted a pup and grew up. Similar conditions but vastly different reactions. Guess this is what keeps us focussed!

Re: Thousand Finger
I think if mine were in partial shade they would have given the dwarf namwah's a run for the $$. Mine are 4ft 3ft p-stem in 4 months (from T/C's). (The Dwarf Namwah in partial shade crapped 2 pups and is taller than my Cali gold.) :^)
