Alright, I finally squared away the pictures above to show only the thumbnails, linking to the actual pictures. Man, I feel like I have accomplished a bunch this morning already - a great way to start the day following a night where I smoked so much I forgot to turn off my sprinkler, thereby flooding my front yard. Wow!

On with the narrative regarding the Freeze. Day 29 was yesterday, and I have been derelict with regard to this log, so I decided to provide a bit of an update. Please forgive my lack of recent updates and time on the board - life has been busy. Luckily, the busy is getting much better than it has been over the past few months.

You will notice the Freeze is getting a bit bushier, leading me to spend more time with her. I feel like she has made it over somewhat of a hump, and she is now a real life plant. I love babies, but I really love when a baby is old enough to show his/her own personality - I feel this is the stage my Freeze is entering, and I cannot wait to watch her development from day to day.

The Freeze is in a nice sized pot for the time being. She is being watered every 2 to 3 days, including within the water some Superthrive, which she seems to like. I had attempted to introduce some Bonemeal and Bloodmeal, but these nutrients in addition to her Miracle Grow soil burned off the first node of leaves. I live and I learn. The Freeze now only receives water and Superthrive.

Now, a question - I have read that you cannot determine the sex of a plant until flowering starts at the 12/12 cycle, which will be a couple of months. But, I swear you will be able to see pistils on the Freeze. I took a few up close pictures to show the long, yellowish-white tentacles popping out the top of the Freeze. Are these in fact pistils which indicate a female plant?

Luckily my dogs have not shown any more interest in the Freeze following their having knocked her over a few times. I thought they may have stunted her growth, but she seems to be doing pretty well. She is receiving a great deal of direct sunlight for the first 10 hours of the day or so, with indirect sunlight for about another 5 hours or so.

I look forward to comments and suggestions regarding my care of the Freeze. And, I hope someone can answer my question about the possibility of the above-described "tentacles" being pistils, thereby indicating the Freeze is in fact a girl.

Thanks for following my log, and enjoy the eye candy.

Day 29
