Thanks Jarred, that was cool! I like how in the second video he says the leaves are cut to let in more sunlight so the plant can continue to grow.

That was very informative. I had 1 question. Why are they letting the mother stem continue to grow. Is it to produce pups, I thought they only flowered once?

Yea its cut down right away so the pups can get light and shoot up.
When I heard what the narrator said, at first I was like.. ummmmm.. then I realized he must really mean for the other plants on the mat to get sun.

Gadget, you can post them in the thread, just take the link and find this part:

Code:
Then wrap it in yt tags like this:
PHP Code:
[yt]U1DBQgAJTWg[/yt
I constructed this post so it won't parse into a video, but if you try it just like that, it will embed the video.
I will now go add a youtube button to the text editor so you can just type the U1DBQgAJTWg part and highlight it, then click the youtube button to wrap it with the yt tags.

OK, now you can just paste the U1DBQgAJTWg part and click the YouTube icon I just added. If you don't see the icon, you must click the Go Advanced button to see the full what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor with all the post editing options. The Quick Reply box you see at the bottom of this thread is the slimmed down version. In addition to this new YouTube button, the Go Advanced version also gives you the smileys

Many thanks for recommending my video here.
But I am sorry, this is not a Del Monte plantation. It's from a friend.

Thank you for clarifying that, Chris. Looks like they are in partnership of the cooperative by the labels on the boxes. I will update the first post to remove that suggestion.

Welcome aboard and we're honored to have you as a new member here.
Please make yourself at home and do stay in touch with us!
I'm sure we can all learn a lot from you.
