So apparently my friend tossed in more than one seed without telling me. I now have three plants in the EarthBox I didn't plant, and in the germination tank my Quasar must know how impatient I am in general because she's like three days old, and she's already sprouted. Thinking about going to the hydro store and picking up a second EarthBox and some more fox farm mix. Pics will come soon. One of my miracle plants, that I've named Shi, is almost three and a half inches tall. A grower I know said it took him a few weeks to get a plant that tall. I feel accomplished.

I've been spending a few hours a day with my plants, talking to them, measuring the pH of the soil and the nutrient mixture, and I've got to say, so far, I think I'm doing okay. I'm incredibly proud of myself for growing my own medicine because of how much I have to pay a freelancer per month to keep me from being in pain and suffering. I'm finally taking my own health care in to my own hands. Even if I only get an ounce or less per autoflower, that's still something I did for myself.

I'd like to take a moment and thank the members of this fine community for taking the time to answer my questions and helping me make sure I was ready for my first grow. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.
