I’ve finally got my maters growing like I want them too. With just about anything you're growing whether it be tomato plants or food plots….this dark green color with lime green growing tips is what you are wanting to see. That’s when you’ve hit the sweet spot.

It’s mostly playing here but instead of pinching all of the suckers off of these plants, I’m going to try to train them to fill up this scaffolding system. Gonna have to prune a couple branches. Again the same dark green and lime color. That’s what you want to see……….

…..people talk a lot about “What the deer prefer”. The deer prefer healthy, young, vibrantly growing plants and not ones that are struggling to live. That matters first and foremost before worrying about magic beans or the latest special seed blend that brings deer from afar.
