Greetings faithful readers... I feel we have been here before, but now we are just a bit smarter. Today finds our little ones recovering once again from too much love, i.e... too much water. They are complaining at me a bit, with a slightly yellowish trend all throughout the major leaves. Again it is not all of them doing this so dramatically, but it is there... mama notices.

So, after being repeatedly told this by so many of you fine people out there, we have learned finally that Miracle Grow is very hard to manage... and certainly more than should be attempted by a novice grower such as myself. But, this is what we have and now I am learning to deal with it. After a couple of days of drying out we are going to try to apply what has just been learned and try watering in small amounts. 1/4 cup / day instead of 2 cups every 2 1/2 to 3 days. When I return to the store I will be looking for the soil mentioned in earlier responses and the FF nutrients for when I eventually transplant to larger pots.

Despite this bit of training on my part, the plants seem to be thriving. All but the runt are now at about the same height, about 2 3/4" to 3" on the big boy. Everyone continues to increase leaf size and overall circumference.

Also today I go to the local water company and ask them what they have put into my water. This should be fun. I think I will tell them that I raise prize winning tropical fish. That will fool them... yep.

Here are today's pictures!

Be good everyone. Just 5 days left until we start 2011, the last full year in the Mayan calendar. I plan on partying the entire year... just in case.

p.s. Pipefitter... thank you for thinking that this growlog is like a good movie. I will try not to disappoint. You will no doubt enjoy my newbie attempts to understand some advanced flowering techniques. I don't plan on making this too easy... what would be the fun in that?
