7.11 Runt is drying out, so I figured I’d check out the root system. I used a 10qt pot and it seems to have done well. I wouldn’t go to 7qt unless I got a really hearty germ run.

Her roots were thin and stringy. I blame the peat pellet for that. For a good first 2mos of life, her root ball was a waterlogged coin disc. It’s a wonder she ain’t dampen or topple in veg! Good thing I transplant deep. Don’t be afraid to spare a node for the sake of sturdiness.

I put all but her main ball in my front garden as composted filler dirt. The fire ants are gonna get lit! If I come out front and see em having a cookout, Ima bring potato salad. How’s it feel to have a party crasher?! Yeah, I came to YOUR cookout. Whatever ants eat (probably poop), I ain’t even gonna eat it. Ima just touch it in such a way that it still looks delicious to them, but they can’t eat it cause now it’s dirty. Totally joking. We do have fire ants though. Pinchie pinchie? Squish you, squish you!

7.13 The smell is not threatening or tasty, it’s just smelly. Idk man, smells like wet plant to me. I bent a branch and she’s still bendy. Hopefully the dry sugar leaves will help her hold on to that kief. I thinks she’s gonna make for some good kief, but her flowers are…it was my very first run and I went nute-free too.

I reckon ima need a burp buddy while I’m on vacation for a week next week. Mama isn’t gonna come here every day and my 20yo won’t touch my stuff at all. He thinks it’s gross, like cigarettes. Maybe run-run will dry till the 29th? No way. Ima head out at the start of the curing process and screw everything up. Look, either she’s curing with Boost packets or still drying on the line. Idk what ima do about that.
