It's been over a week now since the seeds were planted and still no peep at all from the White Widow, so this morning, before my birthday got off to a start, I pulled the pot out, dug up the planting core...
dug through the particulate matter (which reminded me of our days sifting through matrix and looking for tiny fossilized bone when we worked at the museum) .....
... and found nothing. Absolutely no sign of the seed at all. And no idea at all where it ended up. Buried in the soil somewhere, most likely. When I planted the seed I remember thinking it was sooo tiny and didn't look very hearty, so I'm not surprised. It was a gift, so no loss of funds on our side. It was purchased last year and was probably poorly stored before it finally got planted. Oh well.
This means we're down to two girls for the grow. The space was overloaded with three plants anyway, so this is actually a good thing. Now there's more space for them to grow and thrive. I do better with two. I stopped at two children too. Another advantage is that I can concentrate the lights on these two, and we all know the importance of good lighting, don't we?
They appear to be doing well. The THC Bomb germinated with a mild distortion in the true leaves. I have no concerns about that. It will all work out as she grows.
And the Buddha Magnum, looking pretty as she can be for a youngin'.
I'm going to water tomorrow instead of today. It feels more comfortable to me to go three days between at this point. I think I may do a watering schedule akin to my exercise schedule - three days a week spaced at Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. I believe three waterings a week will suffice nicely in these pots. I was going to do every other day, but I know from experience that I'll do better using the same days of the week. The key appears to be the consistency of the schedule, and I've managed to stay consistent with exercising on Monday, Thursday and Saturday for over 18 months now, so I trust I can keep this on schedule as well.
Still waiting on the worms and the fungi inoculant. Maybe tomorrow. (That song from "Annie" always runs through my head when I say that.)
Now I'm going to treat myself to a birthday Callanetics exercise session and continue my trend of looking younger every day. Have a good one everyone.
