@moQui, 100% great Idea… i know of a grower in Thailand, all pots are White !! Even pullingba white t-shirt over the Pot is effective

What a Beautiful garden. Super nice!

What a Great grow. She is a Beauty… took a little longer than I thought it would… happy Smoking Comrade !

@moQui, the Sticks could have Provided SHADE!!! Which led to more roots being Cooler! More Moisture!

You comment about a Big Fail… Is it the Lack of Roots that You refer too?

@1Right_Angle, Yes realised this very late :-/ ... First thought i did some wetting misstake. DUnno if white plasstic poits would be enough to prevent this... Probably go with some straw around the pot next year...

@1Right_Angle, Yes, i was going crazy why i get top yellow leaves... U can see on the soil pic that there is a stripe of wunderfull white roots. This is were i got my sticks round the pot to save them from wind... Sprayed some fish emulsion in the days after i found this... Dunno if it helped... But yellowing stopped after that and sunscreen.
