Panda's Growventures

In honor of my cannaversary… might as well put some pics from the beginning of my grow journey around here… complete with falling victim to the initial blurple curse before switching out (thanks sweet baby jesus) to at least a Spider Farmer light which ive since retired.

So i feel i definitely overwatered with the transplant. Ive noticed a few small areas of slight white mold (which i removed from top and dug around looking for more).

Hopefully fabric pots will continue to dry out. I moved an interior fan down to blow more at the bases to move air.

Also going to start pHing more (ive been lazy) and get them back to getting 5.7-6 pH and give a bit more calmag.

Fingers crossed!

Did you ever try clipping some of the fans down? I tried this so instead of 5/7/9 fingers leaves i cut them all to 3 finger leaves. Hahaha kept as a house plant in my first apartment. mom was like what kind of plant is that? It’s beautiful. :rofl:

No joke… mom went to woodstock.

Dad is a retired artillery Captain in the army.

First time they caught me smoking they freaked out and admitted me into an inpatient psych hospital for almost 2 months my senior year of high school :joy:

So yeah that sucked.

Later in life I did smoke often with momma, especially when she came down with cancer. She passed in 2015 at the age of 63 of multiple myeloma and I miss her terribly. We even had the same birthday, so birthdays are tough for me.

Just giving a shout out to my mom considering mother’s day is this weekend.

If you still have a mom call that woman and tell her you love her, or better yet if you can give her a big hug, look her in the eyes and tell her.

Life is too short, so cherish every moment everyone.

Apologies for the sappy rant haha

I hope you are having a great weekend.
