Blunt Reflections

Pasmalstudios We had gotten to this point with our last seed, but we chose the wrong grow light for it and it starved. We chose (with the warm weather finally) to put outside on our outside balcony (we live in the countryside away from people and cars). It immediately looks so different. Where our previous seed grew tall but weak and spindly (looking for sun) this one is short and stout and already growing official leaves. Its stem is nice a brown instead of the pale whitish green. I've got a good feeling about this.

Pasmalstudios We realized she wasn't growing much so we got her a grow light to sit under. Her stem is really stiffening up and she's really growing leaves now. We need to add fish-grow fertilizer but we're unsure of amounts and timing (so we're stalling). We got big fabric pot (to be able to move her around our property once shes big enough. She'll spend the summer outside but will probably spend her flowering and harvest inside since by then it'll be too cold outside. For now shes doing ok. We're learning.

Pasmalstudios Shes growing slowly but surely. I think our soil is too heavy in the straw and she needs more soil...but we're stalling on how to actually solve that without re-potting her too early? Overall-- she seems ok? I did one foliar this week (her first), nothing bad happened. I consider that a win!
