Hi Jack,

I think it is very possible that the curious stretching could be due to genetic factors. I am seeing various responses by my zinnias, which are growing out of the same nutrient pool, in the same lighting situation.

If you didn't like what your zinnia was doing and you culled it, I think you are justified in doing that. I have made some similar culls recently.

I tip my hat to you.
