      Hiya Loli:)

      At this stage, you're looking for leaf growth, so still a bit early to be looking for 'bulbing' up.

        yeah i havent got any bulbs on mine yet but the leaves are growing very well. i used the coat hanger trick because all my sets have started keeling over ( i think the cat likes walking through them for some reason)

                  Ta Loli :)

                  You'm got a bit of catching up to do, still time though :)

                  I've got a dilemma now, mine look like they'm got more growth in them, but the Melplash show is in 3 weeks :yikes:

                  Probably won't win against the dedicated growers, this was them last year :thud:

                  But I do see some more my size behind them, just don't know what to do :dunno:
