What is the behavior of shoot growth during stage 1?

Explanation:
During stage 1 the shoot keeps growing, but the rate of elongation is reduced. After bud break the young shoot still extends and new leaves begin to form, yet the plant relies on stored reserves and is just starting to build its photosynthetic capacity. Environmental factors like temperature and light can modulate this pace, and as leaves develop and photosynthesis ramps up, growth speed can increase in later stages. So the hallmark is ongoing growth, but slower rather than rapid, versus stopping or reversing direction.
