Oh hon, call it a learning experience, don't be embarrassed! Post anyways!! I remember when I was new everyone's plants looked so awesome and I kept asking myself what the hell I was doing wrong, and I STILL DO! My motto is~Heck, if I don't learn from my mistakes maybe someone else can.
Its a BOOT....I am surprised mine has come this far as I struggle with my plants in a POT! 20 bucks said people tried this challenge and never posted because they failed. I wish people wouldnt do that. I need to know I am the only one that fails all over the place. How can you learn and have success without fails? Look at it this way, mucho kudos to you as you posted and hung in there.
I am the Master Queen of Mess Ups. I have stepped on more plants, broken more lights, changed my grow method in the middle of a grow, had more bugs, overwatered or underwatered, wasted more hard earned money, tossed more seeds and seedlings, and cried more than anyone on this site! (I used to literally go through Hansbrick's grows and CRY!!) We must crawl before we can walk...I try to convince myself.
Post on my friend!! XOXOXOXO
