Duck in hiding

I enjoyed growing the duck auto it was simple I just let Mother nature train this one. I think it was our yoyo weather this year that caused the plant to stay small. It was cool and cloudy one week and 105° the next. I think it grew a lot of foxtail covered buds that just didn't fill in well because of the weather as well. I'm definitely going to try this one again in the spring and look for a better outcome. I washed the entire plant in a peroxide water mix because it was grown outside and I had a handful of caterpillars that caused a couple spots of rot/mold I removed plus I cut the plant a week or so early because we were expecting more rain.
