Planted one of the larger sunflower seeds. Accidentally over-watered. Took FOREVER to drain, but hopefully it didn't rot the seed out. Using desk lamp for constant sunlight. Roommate is starting to get annoyed by always having the light on. :))
-PICTURES COMING SOON!-
Day 2 (2/15):
Good news: Excess water is completely gone. Bad news: top soil is crusted over. More good news: didn't have to water today because of its retaining moisture. Received natural sunlight but desk lamp off today because roommate can't sleep with light on.
Day 3 (2/16):
OMG! It sprouted!!! I dun seent it! It's SO CUTE! It surfaced to the top of the soil somehow, but I buried back again (hopefully that was the right thing to do!). I guess the over watering didn't do as much damage as I thought! :)
OH GOD.
I forgot about updating this. I totally knew this was going to happen. But anyways.
Days 4-8 (2/17-2/21):
Yeah... um... so I already said that it sprouted a little and I buried it again because I accidentally dropped a lot of soil earlier. Then I think on Saturday (...?) it sprouted again! Yay! However, I'm a little concerned because if what I'm seeing is correct, then it looked like the developing leaves are either burnt (what?) or some sort of fungus got to it when I over-watered it at the beginning. Oops. Hopefully, it's not as bad as I think it is. :) OH! And... it's one-week-old today! :)))! I feel like I should name it... hmm...
Day 9 (2/22):
So, there actually wasn't that much growth today, which is weird because everyday I usually see a significant amount of growth. Weird. Maybe it grew a little taller? Oh well, as long as it's still alive. :)
Day 10-11 (2/23-2/24):
Well, this is odd.
I knew there was something going on with my plant and wasn't normal. My hunch was confirmed when people brought their plants into class yesterday. Most people's plants were long and starting to spiral. Something like this.
-picture being uploaded sometime today-
I don't know what happened... but shoooooooooooooot, as long as it's not dead, I don't care! :)
OH SWEET BABY JESUS.
I did it again, didn't I. I forgot to update. But! It's not my fault! You see, there were finals and Spring Break and so I did take care of my plant but I just haven't been updated as frequently as I should! It's alive, I promise! :)
Day 12-30(?) (2/25-3/14):
Okay, so this is soooo weird! My plant, for one, is not getting any taller. It's still alive, however, the only growth that it's demonstrating is that every week or so it grows new leaves while the older pair simply shrivel up and die. I WISH I was able to show pictures because I have NO idea what is going on and I need help! :( When I took it home for Spring Break, my mom thought that it might have to do with the fact that it could be outgrowing its cup, so I've switched it to a bigger pot with fresh soil. Hopefully that does the trick! Honestly, I'm seriously starting to doubt if what I'm growing is even a sunflower at all. :(
Day 31-42 (3/15-3/25)
Yeah, so there really isn't much going on. AT ALL. I mean, it's still alive and all and the growth is noticeable every couple of days, but it is definitely not growing as I expected it to. So with that being said, these update are going to still continue, but they are not going to be as frequent as at the beginning.
Day 43-50 (3/26-4/2)
Same thing is happening with growth except that it seems like it's getting significantly slower. Maybe it's just because I kind of stopped paying attention to it as much but whatever. :D
