resting giant titan resting too long?

From: "Michael Marcotrigiano" mmarcotr at email.smith.edu> on 2006.03.09 at 17:04:47(13927) It's about 6 months since our A. titanum flowered. We did not pollinate it so the tuber is still quite large. After flowering it, of course, went dormant. It's being kept "on the dry side" in a greenhouse with 75F day 70F N. Still no action. No rotting but no action.

Dear Michael, Let`s wait on other opinions from the experts (Lord P., what say thou???), but if I were you I`d TRY to increase the day temps to the high 80`s, SLOWLY increase watering, and stand back!!! That sucker will knock your roof glass off! Julius +More It's about 6 months since our A. titanum flowered. We did not pollinate it so the tuber is still quite large.
