Triple IV Heads

The typical stages of grain growth goes as follows:
  • Tillering stage: one leaf, tillering
  • Stem extension: nodes appear, flag leaf
  • Booting: first awns visible
  • Inflorescence
  • Athesis: flowers pop out
  • Milk development: gets plump and milky if squished
  • Dough: plump seeds
  • Heading: head is 1/2 out
  • Ripening: hard kernels
The Triple IV heads are already out, whereas the Red Fife on the south side is still in the tillering stage.
Dough before dough before dough$
