oh lol, i've gotten that question before. i just wanted to see what would happen, i was pretty sure it wouldnt die so i didn't mind too much, was hoping that by trimming some of the fan leaves, more light would get to the newer growth. i tried to tuck some back, but it just wasnt doin it for me. thanks for skimming btw. i guess the only help i'm really needing right now is a more experienced grower to read my last post and tell me if my watering idea would work ok, since im leaving for home in montana on thursday and will be gone for 10 days, and also, have you ever heard of "Living Earth" soil? the city i'm in doesnt have a specialized garden shop or anything, just home depot, lowes, and their unending supply of MG products. that stuff is the only non MG (or scotts) soil i could find in town. it says its organic and stuff, but that doesnt convince me that it's any good.
