SheyTailfeather Welcome to my new experimental grow. I don't know what I'm doing here but it's gonna be fun. I wanted to grow in a different medium and when I saw the sponge in the groceries store, it was clear. 😂 I played around with it in different pot sizes & moisture levels and ripped this sweet pot from my girl. It's with drainage this time. To extend the challenge I will use natural nutrients only, no bottled fertilizer. I'm cooking something up 😂 Allegra (which is Italian for "cheerful one") was put in a glass of water with 1/8 H202 for 10h, then moved into the papertowel for 2 days until the sprout is double the length of the seed. Yesterday I put her into her living room - a natural sponge (unused 😂) I tried to put her gently into the sponge using toothpicks. It didn't work out well she tumbled her way down approximately 3cm into the sponge. Let's hope and stay tuned 😍 This diary will be more pictures and less text to show all the sidestuff I'm doing. So the first days she showed up slowly and then didn't do anything, thought she was frozen... But then today... Maybe the soup I'm brewing for her finally works, looks like some bacteria have cultivated. Still watering her with what we call a "Lätzle" but when she's grown bigger, which she will, I got a nice idea how to soak the sponge.. Regarding her soup, you can tell the probiotic are alive in there, the scent is like p and poo together with a little fish - nice! Guess I'll cook up a new one with 1-2 teaspoons of the old one 😊

SheyTailfeather I don't know how, but it seems to work. The days are getting hotter so keeping the sponge wet enough is becoming a challenge. I'm cooking a new soup with a tbsp of the bacteria (the bubbly surface) of the old soup but it's not alive yet She's outside since day 5, night temps were between 9-11 celcius. Watering is in tbsp doses, a few in the morning and a few at dawn. Always spraying the surface & then soup. BTW she only gets soup and hasn't seen a bottled fertilizer yet.
