Looking good!
Are/when you going to top them?

I'll let them get a little taller before I top them probably in a week or two.

Everything seems like it's coming along nicely.
I take it you have plans for the males?

I saved one male to make beans.

It must be nice to have weather that permits you to grow outdoors.
What's with the chopped aloe? Wouldn't it be better off blended it something?

Maybe.....i have a big aloe plant with a bunch of new growth. I had to take off some of the growth, so I just hacked it up over the garden real quick.

Nice! Just picked a few up myself, like one tenth the size of that but I'm still dealing with seedlings anyway.
Did your buy it that size?

No. Thats a few years old. It flowered indoors over the winter.

Plants in the raised bed are growing nicely. They have some signs of pest damage, but it's minimal. I've been applying preventative sprays weekly, weather permitting..
The second round of seedlings turned out 12 females. I kept the 2 I liked best, put them in the raised bed, and gifted away the others. DW male will be the pollen plant.
The BDxTOG (left above) has really big fan leaves. It's growing fast, but the internodal spacing is the longest of all the plants.
I took snips from the tops of the original 5 in the bed, 2 mothers that needed refreshing, and the male.

Plants are growing nicely after all the rain last week. The wind pushed some of them over, so i'll have to put stakes to support them. I intend to rig up something to start training them out.
The cuttings are all showing roots. Here are a couple of interesting standouts...
One has roots popping out well above the rockwool.
This one is throwing out roots very aggressively. It's got way more roots than any of the others, and they were all taken at the same time.

That one with the crazy roots is MLK4x(Z3x(WCxBM)) from the 2021 outdoor. The MLK4 mom is a very strong plant...stands up to bad conditions. Her cuttings have always been the fastest to root.

I put it in soil today. None of the other varieties in the same tray have even close to this root growth.That thing may get up and start walking around! Crazy genetics.

Insane. A gift horse.
I'm at the same latitude as you. How are you determining the gender of your plants?
