Official planting day for the 2741 Haist! I'm really excited about this one. It stood out from the rest of the seedlings right away. Thick stems, the fastest growth, zero issues, and an incredibly aggressive root system. It's only been 17 days since the seed went into the dirt, and she's already pushing the main vine and starting her first side vine. I gave the first true leaf a slight nick while taking the bucket off, but overall, the clamshell pot method made the transplant incredibly easy. We dusted the hole with WOW starter packs, Azos, and WOW granular mycorrhizae, then watered her in with a warm brew of kelp, fish hydrolysate, fulvic acid, and Mykos WP. It was awesome having my right-hand man, Carson, there to help settle her in. The real test comes now, though as we've got nighttime temps plunging into the high 20s over the next few days. Time to see what this setup can do.
