Roosterlorn said:Update on scaled Anaconda and Moonlight bulbs.
Last Fall recap, pics. 1,2,3 dated Oct. 12th, 2013. All scaled bulbs, the control bulbs and 'cut early' test bulbs were planted on Oct. 12, 2013.
Moonlight
Anaconda
Typical scaled bulb, calloused and dusted with Captan
Update may, 27th, 2014
Typical growth as of May 27th, 2014. All test bulbs are growing. The scaled bulbs emerged about 3 weeks later than the control bulbs, even though they were planted 2 inches shallower. The average height of those scaled is about 3 inches. They appear very healthy, but smaller. The average height of the control bulbs is about 12 inches. The also appear healthy. I am running three different tests on three different sets on 6 Moonlight and 5 Anaconda bulbs and have taken many pictures. To make things simpler and less confusing I'll only show two representative pictures. This should give you an idea of what to expect if you ever do a full scale job.
