Yep, they are slow starters but mine has really taken off in the last week. There is one more guy on here about 2 weeks ahead of me. Look for OchoCinco, that is his user name. He has one that is doing real good as well. Unless they impress me with yield I won't be growing another one. Way too slow to start and that is the same with everybody that I have seen grow her. They are suppose to be impressive yielders though so I may change my mind. We will see.
