Thank you!

Here are a couple of pictures of the last seeds I sprouted, hope they help. The one in the red cup was about 3-4" when i took the picture, the other two images, the seedlings are about 6-7" currently.

The low temps here are a bit brutal. I get 10-15 days straight with 28F in the morning and about 10-15 days through the winter season that it drops down to 24-25F. So far, I've always covered the tips, only on the nights that it drops down to below 26F. 2 years ago, I did forget to cover them once and the tips got damaged. They recovered and eventually started growing again but took some time to recover. To date, the damage is still visible. On a good note, this year I started getting some nice little pups on some of the seedlings.

I live in Southern Ca. Inland Empire, I have 10 queretaroensis seedlings that I was lucky enough to buy from nullzero, 4 yrs ago which I believe were 1 year old when purchased,  so at 5 years old now, the seedlings are all about 4 feet tall and looking great.
I have several more from seeds that I sprouted, I also got those seeds from nullzero and at less than 4 years old, those are also 4 feet tall with one of those 2" shy of 5 feet from soil line. All seedlings are on their own roots, in 15gal pots and never grafted. Thanks null!
