It's going to be a beast especially in your zone.
It'll be putting out surfboards in no time and probably give Lou a run for its money!!

Nothing in my patch so far has matched the prolific nature of my Orinocos by far.
The closest is my Praying Hands followed by 1000 Fingers, Blue Java & Tall Namwa.

I dont have orinoco, but i will second your other prolific plants.. Im astounded at my praying hands. I bought it as a TC from Larry (SDDarkman), and Larrys TCs are not like other vendors, this plant was 9 inches tall or so when i got it. Had been hardened off etc. Went in the ground beginning of july and is approaching 9 ft overall height. Insane!

On Larry's tissue cultures, boy you got that right. Significantly better than the rest, save Lou Ferrigno of course

But my word NINE feet, planted in July??? Jaw dropping for sure. I should have planted much sooner I guess. Mine is super healthy but only about 3ish feet of pstem. It's chunky though

They are prolific puppers.

One thing I notice about them is until they are well on way older (least recent) leaves will yellow sometimes badly and get black areas as well. I first thought it was because of cold weather but even now. It's the only plant that does it and it's consistent across all offspring.

Yeah on every pup I have separated, also on the main plant(s) left in the ground that came back, nicely I might add. Until they got rolling it was the same thing. The oldest leaves would turn almost completely yellow or some yellowing with dried out black areas. I just cut them off. It doesn't look diseased really. Weird. Next time I'll snap some pics.
