Here's a photo of what King Kashi does beneath the Earthbox mulch cover. It creates a thick mycelium bloom on top, as well as a fungal network throughout the entire substrate, for the beneficial microbes. Once the bloom begins to subside, I'll cover it with organic composted manure, then top if off with another cup of King Kashi (formerly called Gro-Kashi):

Mushrooms and slime mold growing in the garden? Some might think this spells bad news for their plants, but this isn’t the case. In fact, fungi play a vital role in one’s garden. Mushrooms often get a bad rap as a few are toxic and are seen as a sign of internal rot. What they

59 Days from the May 24 Breakthrough (i.e. first sprout). Accidentally topped one, in the dark, so now trying to root it. Tried to mend it first, but it didn't take, sadly.

They are growing like the weeds they are, Freedom_Fighter! They look very happy in their homes!
Thanks Longball. I'm definitely happy with their vigor.

Thanks, mu! Much appreciated.
Where there's a will, there's a way. A very old but true proverb. Don't really know my two neighbors yet, so I need to tread a little lightly, until I'm able to determine if they're "Karens", or not.
Last thing I need is a war with a crazy Karen who lives next door, who will either narc out on me; or stay awake at night plotting ways to eliminate my crop.
Then, apart from having no backyard privacy, I have a light pollution problem to worry about as well. That spot behind the shed is the most secluded from it.
Would love to be able to grow 8 foot trees under real sun, but even if the neighbors were cool with that, it would be a challenge to tarp them up, at night, to block light pollution.
Cheers! - FF

July 26: If you zoom in on the last photo for a close-up of the stem, you'll see a bend in it. More of that to come!
In the second last photo, you can see the plant that was topped accidentally. Ooops! My bad. LOL
Shit happens, unfortunately. The top is still alive and being rooted, hopefully. Still trying to get cuts from the last 3 Runts.

3 empty rows reserved for the stunted runts. I might have to take the tops from 2 of them. Their secondary branching is nowhere near ready for cuttings, unfortunately.

Greetings all MNS Aficionados!
So, it seems I have an even ratio of 'm' to 'f' plants, 5 of each. Here's Male #1, the Earthbox closest to the camera, next to the Pro-Mix bale:
It's in an Earthbox, unfortunately. I wanted them just for females. Oh well, 3 out of 4 "ain't" bad. I'll trim it back very shortly. Nothing happens for no reason. Originally the decision to up-pot this one to the Earthbox was a last second decision. I had initially set aside a suspected female for that Earthbox, but something about it persuaded me to change it for the male; which I hadn't yet recognized as male.
Perhaps my higher nature was behind that last second change-up. Maybe there is a particular trait that will express better in the Earthbox eco-system. The fact that it somehow ended up in the Earthbox, despite my conscious effort to prevent that, already gives it an edge over the others, in my mind. We'll see soon enough, I hope.

Here are the other 4 males: 
So, I'll designate the one on the far left as M#2, M#3 right next to it, Ma#4 next to the Runt, Male #5.
The smallest one is the one plant that stayed in the DE blended mix the longest. Like a member once said, correlation doesn't equal causation. I suspect it may have had something to do with it.

This plant was the tallest of them all, until I tied down its top. Otherwise it would be taller than Male #2, on the left of it. It achieved that height despite my applying Kushman Chiropractic to it, to slow it down. It's only hope of selection is if it shines somehow, over the next couple weeks.

Male #5: The DE Runt
He has nice internodal spacing, I'll give him that; and because of that, deserves a second run; plus it showed exceptional hardiness & tolerance to the stress I caused them, in the early stages of their lives. It took the punishment without much complaint about it.
