So I had about five bagseeds that didn't germinate and for more than a laugh than anything I tossed them in a 'spare' pot and promptly forgot about them. This morning I planted my last germinated seed and was moving pots around 'what's this?' it appears we've got a bit of a fighter on our hands. Laz was stretched and looking a bit thirsty so I gave him a bit more soil and a few ML's of fresh water. Let's see what he decides to do with life.
Seeing him pop brings to light what I've read here and on many other forums. Us Neophyte growers probably have a tendency to overthink and overdo things. I've had the great fortune to be able to talk offline to people who have successful grows under their belts and, while my setup is a bit caveman for my general tastes (funding issues), it seems to be doing okay with just paying attention, sticking my finger in the dirt to keep it moist but not oversaturated, and my babies are doing just fine even though they look, to my estimation, to be about a week or two behind some other folks who didn't make some of the mistakes I made (re potting too soon, one accident where I knocked over a bucket with my best plant in it, and so on).
'Keep in mind it's a weed' and 'don't kill your plant with too much love' are phrases that are stuck in my head right now thanks to Lazarus. I hope she grows tall, proud, and productive. Frankly if it turns out to be a male I may just give him his own pot and keep him in the corner of my room. I think he's earned the right to live.
