The start of my first Journal.
(of any kind, so only appropriate.)
Three main plants, 8 babies in the germ tray for backup or additional grow.
I am Using random seeds I had collected over a 6 month period, selected the
larger and darker striped seeds. Germinated in a zip-lock bag; kindergarten
style.
From the picture of the line up, the three main's;
and to the right of them is the plastic tray of babies
the one to the left, Gangi.
The center one is Ike (the younger out of the three...Tyke = Ike)
one on the right is Mrs. T, which seems to be the stronger one of the three
and the most likely to be a male.(knock on wood that she won't be)
After the germ process I had planted them in see-thru plastic carry out
soup containers; after I had drilled a few ventilation holes for the water and
the soil. All three of the containers have different amount of drills in them,
a little test to see how effective it would be to have more or less aeration for the soil.
The soil I am using is Miracle-Gro Potting mix. Now I am not totally sure if
this is a good idea, but I am figuring I would have to use less supplements
or none at all to the soil in the long run with this method. I water the
lants at least three or four times a day. Two times heavy watering, once
in the morning and once in the mid-afternoon when the sun is in the
highest point. The window I have has the sun shine in perfectly.
So far T and Gangi are 1 month old and ike is 2 weeks. I am going to switch
over to some slightly larger pots in another month for a marginally larger plant.
