    Cool stuff guys thanks for the info!! One thing I’ve found interesting is if you top down to the 6th leaf set ( from seed ) as soon as it appears the plant isn’t quite ready and really stalls but if you let the seventh and 8th leaf sets establish fully and then top down to the 6th leaf set she has matured enough to really keep momentum and barely stall if at all..and if you look at the nodes against the stem below the 6th leaf set once the 7th and 8th are established you’ll notice the new branches have now started to form very quickly and this coincides with the formation of 7 and 8th leaf set.. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this or if you’ve noticed any other consistent plant patterns!! Rock on guysm/
