I always keep the compost on the dry side, from seedling stage to final planting. By doing this I end up with short sturdy plants, ready to produce the first truss at final planting time.  The plant will then switch it's enegry from making roots to producing flower trusses.  From that point on, it's full steam ahead with high potash feed and water.
That sounds good.  I shall try it.

Thanks for the botany lesson DD -most useful. ::)

Never had a problem with high up trusses.

I should think not (surely they're adjustable!)  ::)  :lol:

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!
