It was a few years ago... I decided to use the seeds from the smoke I have had with my girl friend in order to make our so called love eternal... I have downloaded the "Cannabis Grow Bible 4th Edition by Greg Green".
Well, only five seeds has been germinated out of eleven or twelve. I gave them a new home, plastic cups, I was so stupid, giving them hookah smoke, trying to give them led light (3V) and expecting them to thrive. I had everything, I recall buying all these fertilisers, soil, pots... Surviving three transplanted into 3 litre pots and they were happy for some time but one slowly died... A few days later I was cheated and those remaining two were my mementos, I tried to keep them alive, their seeds would be my redemption or so I believed. I tried to read as much as I could, reread the book, keeping them on my balcony and letting them get pure sunlight, good wind, watering as needed...
I have had pest attacks as well, white weird flies... I recall the day when they start to smell, I recall clearly how did I water them, how long time I did spend on watching them, I truly loved them...
I had to leave the city for one day and when I came back, one of the plants was very sick, I couldn't save her... I recall sitting in front of the pot for hours and gazing the dead plants, even my memento was dying... Later I learned that my father poured good amount of bleach to the soil in my absence... So it was the end of the "Beast", I named her "Beast" because she was the most healthy plant of five from the very beginning.
Last remaining plant took all my attention I named him "My Dying Bride" because he was a sick plant in his early days then again I had to leave city just two days, when I came back, his stem was broken, my father said "Blame your cat." and I knew, Loser did not like plants, I knew who the cat was... I put him into nutrient solution and if I knew the things I know right now, I would use a humidity dome to clone him... He survived a few days, he shed pollens and died... With my memento, my hopes of reunion died as well, she died a year later because her finance gave her overdose...
Long story short, I loved those plants though as the song says "But there is no sense in crying over every mistake, you must go on trying till you run out of cake and the science gets done and you make a neat gun for the people still alive..."
