I wanted to track time from transplant to first buds, then what will be first cuts.

So here is the time line so far:

5/10, Planting Day

6/7

6-7-18 karmas1.jpg 6-7-18 karmas3.jpg

6/25

Dahlias 6-25-18.JPG

6/28

Dahlia 6-28-18 a.JPG

So, we go from planting on May 10th to first buds on something like 10-20 percent of the plants on June 28th. So that is 49 days from transplant to first buds on Karma Dahlias (Bon Bini and Yin Yang are the 2 most budded right now). I think I did the pinch around 14 days after planting.
Bosgraaf says 49-63 days from planting to harvest (assuming you pinched at planting). Seems I am right on schedule.
