Joe Dark doing well

On the left is one of my Joe Dark's.  I have one more just as big at home.  This puppy is drinking about 165ml of water everyday from the SIP.  I was away from work for 5 days over thanksgiving and found that one had grown so much it was touching the florescent light above, so I had to move it down off the paper trays.

The middle one is a red Sicilian that looks like it has really bad FMV.  I'm not liking the way it's growing.  I may try to do a mini air layer on the stemp with the large leaf.  Or just clip it off completely. The shorter stem is looking better.

The one on the right is one of my Unknown Rochelle #2 that I sent some cuttings to a few people a couple months back.  My Unknown Rochelle #1 at home is starting to leaf out good too.  It'll probably be a couple of years before I figure out what they really are.  I found them on Rochelle street in my town.

they look really good, when did start them.....

The Joe Dark has been in the cup exactly 2 months now.  This post has a picture of it right after I put it in it's cup (bottom left).
It took about 4 weeks to root prior to that.

The Rochelle one is a couple of weeks behind it.  The Red Sicilian is only about a month in the cup.

are they all about the same size? nice job with them.....I started some about a month ago in sip cups, very easy to take care of ....really like the idea

did you start to introduce any fertilizer yet

I did a little fish fertilizer(5-1-1) last week only, but hasn't made any noticeable difference.  Otherwise, the MG potting mix had a little bit of fertilizer to start with.
