Default 1,000 fingers

Collected my 1,000 fingers from the mail today and what a beauty. Weighed in at over 5lbs! So this afternon I have been watering the site to soften the area as we have been extremely dry, and tomorrow I'll get a nice big hole dug and use the last of my best compost - I want this baby to grow fast.





I don't know how I am going to survive the wait for the first fruit - I feel impatient now!! haha! Thanks Jarred - a real beauty!

Fernie - have you tried Jarred for a 1,000 fingers - I just got mine from him.
No problem with mine - you just might have to wait a while! lol

Nice corm and root system! I bet it will be lightning fast shooting up new leaves in no time. Congrats on your new nanner!

Thanks Raules - I can't wait for one of those huge bunches although Jarred says it takes a little time before you get the really REALLY big ones.

Austin - it looks great and there are several buds visible on the corm too.
