I posted this about a month ago asking you guys for help, and I got so much more than I expected! Since then, I changed the soil, the lighting 'strategy' and the watering regime/practice.

And it worked 😀

I have a bunch of cannabis seeds laying around, so I'm practicing with them. Most of them died, but I'm adjusting something every new try and this new batch is doing great. The older ones in the pic are ~15 days old

Thanks to everyone who helped!! I didn't know I would get so happy just by seeing these little guys thrive hahaha

This one looks like it's flowering although it's still so young. I've read a bit about them, and it has something to do with the proportion of dark/light hours that they get in a day.

Edit: no other lavender seeds germinated after that post, so no update on them. Maybe in another month

It’s definitely flowering! You can see the pistil hairs forming. Great job so far! Growing plants is good fun.

Here is my closet right now, just 3 more weeks to go:

these little guys

For your sake, I hope this is wrong, and that it ought to be "these little ladies" or some such.

At least one is a girl, fingers crossed on the other one 🤞
