Am I weird?

Ok I have always thought of myself as a pretty normal 16 year old, I love music, girls, cars, computers, all kinds of stuff. But I had an epiphany yesterday, which made it clear to me that I have dedicated part of my life to growing this plant, and almost no one does that, especially anyone my age. Then I started thinking about who does dedicate their life to growing plants, and the only people I could think of are scientists. However I've never done well in school, infact just a few months ago I dropped out. When I dropped out though, I felt like I learned enough to get threw life without a hitch, but even though I have dropped out of high school of I could see myself going to a collage or trade school and paying for specialized teaching.

Anyway... enough with me.

The clone is doing very well, I have been keeping all of it's foliage wet all of the time with some jumpstart additive, and some of my older nutrients called flora micro, because of its nitrogen content, and it loves it, I am going to keep spraying it until roots are showing, which will probably be another three to four weeks. Also the clone is in the same place as my larger plant, under the 400 watt metal halide, but the clone is inside a "tent" I made from a plastic cake display package thing, it's in the next picture.



Enough with the clone, time to talk about my larger plant.

It's been almost nine months since it sprouted, it is 16.5 inches tall, and growing growing at a constant rate, I have about 2000pm of flora nova grow I'm feeding it, and I am going to increase that to probably about 2500ppm the next time I change the water. (By the way I figure ppm with just math, I don't yet have a meter) I have just started experimenting with playing them music, I have an extra pc which I am using to control the fans, but it also is connected to the internet, and plays an online radio station 24/7 to my plants commercial free. I am currently using a station from Digitally imported, the drum and bass station. The music plays threw a pair of headphones at the bottom of the plant, I don't know if it will help much but, I'm trying it! If you want to check out digitally imported go to www.di.fm, they have a bunch of stations for electronic, dance, and techno, they are all awesome.

Peace out everyone!
