Default Micro-Multiflora growout fall/winter 2016

I am starting this thread to track the Micro-Multiflora lines we are and will be growing out this fall and winter.
46x F1s-which I have 3, 2 in 20 ounce cups about 5 inches tall, and one in a 2 liter bottle planter, probably 7 inches tall.
46x F2s- I have 2 in one cup probably 1 inch and 3 inches, and one in another cup about 4-5 inches tall. These are all approximately 4-6 weeks old, I would guess. They seem to be growing very slowly. One of the f2s is particularly curious. I am not sure if it is one that I clipped out that regrew, or if it is just a terribly stunted plant, but it is only about a half an inch tall. I am just letting him grow to see what he can do.

Abbi has 2 cups of 71x F1s growing, not sure how many in each cup. They have just about gotten to the point that they need to be separated. They are probably 3-4 inches tall, and have a couple to a few sets of true leaves.

I am planning to start 2 or 3 of my other lines very soon, I would have liked to have already had them going, but have been having a lot of stuff interfering. Strangely, everything seems to be growing much slower now than the plants I grew in the spring, even the micros I grew. Not sure why that is. Maybe I can fiddle around with the conditions and make them a little happier.

I will try to post pictures soon, just to document their progress, and update as I go along. These are cute, fun little plants, and I look forward to seeing how they do for us!
