PurpleAlien Hi! You can call me purple alien, this is the first time I'm diving into this beautiful hobby.
Even when I was little, I found plants extremely interesting; the world of flora is one of the most beautiful wonders that Mother Nature has given us. The complexity and value of nature is increasingly underappreciated and often overlooked as a given.
My hobby started just like many others, it began with a single houseplant and its demise. Giving up was not an option, which led to questions like; what did I do wrong? It can't be that hard, could it? Maybe it was the watering?
Houseplant after houseplant, I got better at caring for plants and started enjoying it more and more.
From the knowledge you gain about the different plant families, the various care methods and requirements that each individual plant has, such as the desired pH and nutrient values (and much more), to the composition of the soil that contributes to the unseen life.
It's something you get better at over the years, and you see the gratitude reflected in the radiant, happy, strong plants.
Well, that's it for the introduction! Nice to meet you.
In this diary, I'll take you along on my first grow of the marijuana plant. Mistakes and oopsies will definitely happen, but you learn from mistakes ;)
