I missed my original check in. I would say it was about 1.25" talk to start.

2 5/8th inches. Apparently my comb method last month was way off!!!

But it has fattened up on the base probably 1.5x width from last month.

March pic. Not much for verticle growth, but it has gotten much wider and the branch on the side has begun to take off.

Nice!

I threw mine in the back corner low light and it has stunted its growth. I recently put it out front and it is doing much better. I will grab a snap of it later!

Mine finally started growing side branches since I updated May lights. I had one that was twice it’s size. Left it in a shadow. It shrunk down to a size of a single fat paly! Just moved it into the regular light and now it is growing again.

These things are resilient
