I don't grow the Orinoco, so I can't be of much help.

If you collect enough data, you should find that C@1m is a much better indicator of health and bunch size than is pseudostem height.

All of your C@1m seem very skinny.

I think Ed has an Orinoco getting ready to bloom and he should be fairly close to you.
