been around the horn on this one... What is it?

It's the one with the pinkish veins and reddish brown leaves

 

[hooha]

I believe it's Polygonum sp. 'Porto Vehlo'....one of the GWAPA guys or Cavan can confirm....

 

[chadly]

k, that's what I was told. Then disputed.

got it from Don Boyer...

Why no profile for it?

 

[hooha]

it's one of the works in progress It's relatively new and rare, so getting the growing conditions takes time to form a concensus, etc.

 

[chadly]

ah, It grows fast, especially the stumps after it's topped.

I'm running 146w on 28bowfront, minimal ferts schedule, lots of co2

 

[hooha]

the Polygonums tend to be fast growers, looks like you're doing a good job

I think that's what it is, yeah. That's kind of a tough angle though. Is it viny or kind of straight? There are others that can look similar.

 

[chadly]

the leaves are flat, not wavy. The stems are fairly straight unless there's more than one stem per plant. Then they spread a little. Mature leaves are arrow shaped and 3-4" long.

I agree that it's 'Porto Velho' too. I'm pretty certain Donald got it from me a while back.

 

[chadly]

ok, thanks guys, I'll run w/ it.

btw, is it "Puerto" or "Porto"? or either?
