I've been telling plenty of my customers about TV and especially about the SWC threads, so there should be at least a few newbies with interest in these threads and pics.

svalli, nice to see pictures of the Triple Climbers. I'll post some pictures of mine as soon as I pull the fleece covers off my containers. Ami

Those are the rooted tops of the leggy 'mother' plants, which are in a similar SWC in the tent. I will keep these outdoors by the wall which gets warmed by the sun and the other ones in the tent to see, if they grow differetly.
I just hope my SWC design works. So far everything looks good. The potting mix has not turned soggy and plants look as happy as they can in this cool weather we have had.
