Hi. I am seeing really good growth right now with one gaining at least 35 pounds yesterday and averaging about 30 a day for a week - Its over 400 now - and the others are all looking good and gaining well too. The plants look healthy too. Is there anything wrong with me just leaving well enough alone for a while hahahaha. No major dramas right now with the plants and everyone seems happy. I am afraid if I adjust the balance a bit all hell could break lose hahahaha. Also the foaming stump seems to have corrected itself. I dug a lot of soil away from the stump to where the big roots spread out from it and then covered it with powder inside and out and this seems to have dried it out. I also drilled out a hole in bottom of cavity of stump so that it can not hold water any more. Thanks for all advice on this. Steve
