The roots grew half-out-of-the-ground, as well as half-in, which pushed the plant up (and I hadn't expected). No idea if that is normal though!
I am a bit confused about this day light sensitivity. At what stage is it most important because it cannot be the same ratio for long?

At what stage is it most important because it cannot be the same ratio for long?Umm....I think it is the maximum amount of day light that will trick the plant for flowering and seeding (bolt)...so we need to think timing the majority of the growing season when out that season. Our brightest time of the year is May-August...that's when one doesn't want them to be in their developing stage. That is how I understand it.... So...my plan is to start again around February...starting in GH...maybe just few in fairly good size pots that can be then transplanted with minimum root disturbance later on...or so I hope.And if that doesn't work out...I'll have another go later on ...early autumn'ish
I've grown them for several years, sowing in July.
So why would you want to grow a twenty pounder ?
