Today I´m going to post some pics (a little tutorial, sort of) about a thing which has become routine to me the course of the past years, we can call it "Crown Cosmetics", so for those of you, who are wondering what people are talking about and what crown and adjacent parts of main vines look like (and why, and what it´s good for etc.), I thought I take some pics and explain a bit in detail. So, here we go now, here you can see what a "standard view" of an Atlantic Giant plant´s crown in my patch looks like around that time of year. Part A is the so-called hypocotyl, the part of the vine below the cotyledons. As the vine grows, both vine and hypocotyl are likely to develop superficial cracks, which easily dry and scab over. Hence, that healed scar is no issue to worry about (in my opinion). Talking about cotyledons, where are they gone? B is the section where they had been. I have removed them (together with the secondaries, which started to emerge from the cotyledons´ nodes). Finally, section C indicates the first 2, 3 or 4 leaf nodes, where I have removed the secondaries (and, in most cases, the leaf as well). Last but not least, the white stuff on the surface is some sulfur.
