Diary Legend: 💧- Watered 🌱- Seedling 🌲- Cut Down 🍃- Defoliation ✂️- Topping or FIM'ING 🚂- Training (LST) Wk2 11/14/21: Day 8. Still waiting for that damned pot to dry out. Next time I'll remember to only water in the cube, and not make the pot as moist as the cube, just keep the dome moist. Growth is picking up, so that is nice. Still a long ways to go. I'm hoping my, overwatering, didn't cause the plant to be stunted. I say overwatering with hesitation, as I haven't added anything in for a week. It should have dried by now, not sure why it isn't. I double checked to make sure the drainage holes were not blocked, so that's not the issue. Oh well, just one for reason for me to stop using these facacta pots, and just use my smart pots. I will also give the air pots another try, as I never gave them much of a chance before. I know they work, I've seen it's result first hand. I just can't stand the slow speed it takes to water. Even smart pots can be watered at a pace I can handle, I do not find them difficult at all. 11/16/21: Day 10. Dang pot is still holding moisture. The top layer is finally showing signs of drying out, and the pot is definitely lighter. Still a long ways to go before I'll water again though. The only good news is, the plant is growing out nicely now. Took a little bit to get going, but it's now growing at a very noticeable rate. I do see a few leaf tips either losing colour, or getting nutrient burnt. I will monitor the situation over the next few days, and report any changes. 11/18/21: Day 12. Growth is still looking good, except for the leaf burns on the tips of the larger leaves. Looks like another plant that needs less nutrients. We will see what it does overall in the next few weeks. I'm sure it will be fine once it starts to drink up more water, which will be any day now. The pot is feeling much, much lighter than before, giving me a good sign that it's finally taking up the excessive amount of water I transplanted it into. 11/20/21: Day 14. Plant is still alive, for now. Marks on the leaf tips indicate something is wrong, but I have no idea what. Pot is finally drying out, now that the plant has enough roots to absorb it all. Still not yet needing a watering, as I'm going to wait until it is completely dried out before I even feel like watering it again.
