In the Tropics germplasm are actually very strong, all of the plantlets survived and a few produced sister shoots. Being prepared and having confidence in your ability sure helps. The people who have problems are generally adding too much crap too early, like fish emulsion, azomite, mycorrhizae, and fertilizer. If spending more money will help the plant grow then simply buy a jewel encrusted Tiffany spray bottle.
I chose to set the sleeves so that the germplasm received full morning sun from the very first day and waited about 10 to 12 days before removing the sleeves completely. By hardening the plants more quickly they can grow faster by using the full sun.
