I started this girl months back. She's survived my shitty ~ yet growing ~ growing knowledge, hundred plus degree heat and ninety plus humidity. I hid her in a closet under a blanket for a night when my landlord showed my apartment to some possible renters and of course she started to sprout hairs. Her brother dropped his balls though, and out he went.
She's got spider mites though, and has for a while. The lady bugs are helping, but she's not quite clean yet and I don't want her buds to begin growing with those little bastards burrowing through them. Reason 1. Conjoins to
Reason B. I just recently got a tent and a light and I've got my little baby rootlings in there just a baking under the light. I've got the ladybugs infested inside and I figure with the enclosed environment they'll be able to scour every single one of the spider mites off every single everything inside within a few days, to include a few of each other probably.
Lastly, she already looks shitty. I mean hit by a fugly truck and shat on by a stuptard dog kind've shitty. But by the gods she's the first of my babies I've ever managed to get this far through my bumbling trial and error and I want her to bloody damned well produce. I figure I can nurse her into some better health before she starts to really go into flowering and give her roots more time to build, which I don't think they fully have yet; I suspect the bud would probably be better for it.
Plus kind've to experiment a little. I mean, I know what the things do under good conditions already right? I know I can't replicate those conditions just yet ~ though I am getting closer a bit at a time ~ so why try to and just see what happens?
