Being a Rookie has been a great experience mainly because of the BPG family. Here is a Pictures of my first Plants that are hanging on waiting for the ground to dry. Hoping to get them in the ground by Friday. I started with seven and have it narrowed down to top three.

I diverted off a little from the tree pattern because I have a tire with marigolds to hopefully keep some critters at bay. At 10 feet first female on main with another one leaf node up from that one. one secondary vine I have pulled five females and one I'm thinking to leave and see how it does. Feeding and trimming daily now.

Its gotten hard to measure with her leaning so at this point just trying to watch her SS and Height. I wish these things come with a built in weight sensor:)

Well Petunia busted open apparently last night. Not sure if its from all the rain we have had or her position or the fluctuation of temperatures. This is terrible. So now to recover seeds and inspect side walls. Any info on what you guys think please let me know. Thanks
