Great Bob, I just updated again. I should know in a couple days on the 255 plant if I have a couple set there. The 179 gained 5 inches and 4 inches, culled one today. The 179 looks like it will be a fat one again.

Marty your 179 and my 191 are the two best plants in my patch both are bigger than my 255. Starting to get a few females. We will see what they look like soon.

I don't have a diary. I probably should, but I don't. It's a pretty busy life I attempt to lead, and taking pictures and uploading just doesn't fit as of yet.

Marty, I acutually had a long one set on the 179. Was looking good but the storm this afternoon may have severely damaged my plant.
