Started out with an aggressive regiment at the seedling phase one month ago today. We had 8 seedlings, and now we're down to the final five contestants. The fifth is in the back right, and not growing as fast as I'd like her to, but she's waiting for a new home with someone who -isn't- trying to bloom.

The three on the right, including the one that's getting adopted, are Smurfberries. The two on the left are Syrup [in the back] and Red Dwarf. Quasar was only up to her second node, and hadn't even really started showing her sex yet. We're 4 weeks in, and 4 weeks from harvest; I don't have time anymore to nurse ailing plants back to health. She didn't want to grow? I cut her at the base and she's getting pressed in a book to hang up on my wall as decoration.

We just started using a compost tea of Peruvian Sea Bird guano, Mexican Bat Guano, and a good handful of Worm Castings. We cooked it at a low heat [about 100*, where most bacteria thrive] for an hour in two gallons of water. We also mixed in a nice amount of raw molasses to help give the plants a shot of carbohydrates.

Had to get an ozone generator; the smell was incredible.

We're entering the blooming stage relatively quickly here, so I've begun switching out the bulbs to a bloom bulb, as well as making sure there's the right mix of nutrients for the plants to thrive. Here's hoping everything works out!
