July 15: Got rain on the homestead today. Ready for it, had this little lady under cover to avoid overwatering by a hard Arizona desert summer thunderstorm.
July 16: Today she got a one gallon flowerpot and some seed sprout tea to water her into her new home because it was also watering day. She looks happy.
July 16: She's sitting at a solid 1.5 inches. A little thin at the stem, but the transplant and watering should fix that.

July 16: She's sitting at a solid 1.5 inches. A little thin at the stem, but the transplant and watering should fix that.
July 15: She's looking great, nice color, starting to take off again. I think the shade time is helping. Just too small for such hardcore sunlight right now, I think.
July 16: So today it was time to water. Had some sprouted seed corn ready to go, made seed sprout tea for all my girls in all three grows.
I'm treating the water to correct pH down a point or two with two tablespoons vinegar to a gallon of water. Made five gallons of seed sprout tea using this water.
Transplanted her into a one-gallon flowerpot and watered her in with the SST mix.
July 18: She's enjoying the new space and seems to love the seed sprout tea.
July 21: End of Week 3, she's at 2.25 inches and looks good. Seems happy and vigorous, good color even if she's a bit small. I think the killer Arizona sun at 6700 feet altitude is part of that. A little shade at times will have her reaching a little more.
Getting almost time to water again. Will be feeding more corn sprout tea in a couple days.
July 28: End of Week 4. Still smaller than I want, but growing vigorously and holding good color.
Hit her with some corn SST this week. Forgot to adjust the pH on the water for that. She'll get some more this week.
July 21: End of Week 3, still going strong, good color and vigor. Wish she was taller, but that will come in time. Will be feeding with corn SST in a couple days.
July 7: End of Week 1, one inch tall. She's got great color, but the extremely strong Arizona sunlight is slowing growth a little. Giving her some time in the shade each day so she can rest and maybe stretch a little.
October 6: End of Week 14. She's really going strong. Stretch is ending, she tripled size and She's making nice flowers with frosty goodness already beginning.
She loves the special teas and she started on LST this week. I'll pollinate her with Thai Sticks pollen from purple flowers once her buds are bigger.
September 15: End of Week 11. Starting to fill out nicely, branching, bud sites.
She's growing much faster now, I'm really hoping for a couple more weeks of rapid growth.
Corn sprout tea, sheep manure tea, compost tea this week.
September 1st, end of Week 9. She's in much better shape, but too late in the season to expect much. Starting to stretch, but no sign of pre-flower yet.
September 8: She's continuing to grow faster, filling out and has gotten shiny. Looks so much better now. Stretching fast, but will never be very tall. Still no sign of pre-flower yet, expect it any day now.
August 18: End of Week 7. She's going a little faster. Expecting her flowering stretch at any time now. Moved her into a five gallon while I still have the chance. Don't expect her to get real big but also think a gallon might not be big enough.
