To be honest I think my 222 Abbate plant is turning out to be a mutant AG beast. By far the most aggresive AG I've ever seen.

Day 25 since sprouting:

-Main vine is about 5 feet long. Now growing a foot a day.
-Leaves are about the size of 2 basketballs each.
-Massive stump and main vine.
-Large side vines growing out of control.

Though once you see a picture of the tendrils producing vines and leaves you'll be truly stunned. It'll be interesting to see how they turn out?!?

Is there any real reason for this bizzare, extreme growth? My growers diary might be interesting this year...

Exactly like that. Maybe something to do with genetics...?
