she'z still jus a reg ol' plant, only with half-leavez at the fourth floor, becuz -> fuck, me MISSED! 
ppp
ppp
ya see, the solstice is symbolic for me, cuz it markz one year i've been growin, and hence, the planting of the NL, becuz one year ago, on the solstice, me first plant to sprout was Harli, a NL from crop king...soooo, me figgered to commemorate it by plantin another NL, and name her, appropriately, Summer :smoking: i'm jus hopin she don't take 5 friggin monthz to finish like her predecessorz, haha 
but ya, me lookin forward to growin the gelato as well, and wanna give shoutz to @Mr B. from Female Seeds yet again for allowin me the oppurtunity 
i've entered Pearl into the outdoor auto/photo comp as well, and have two more i'll be entering on july 10th, so the summer should be full o' fun as the outdoor growtrain rollz on, choo-choo! ppp
ppp
) we've had around an inch of rain since 6am this morn, so apparently, both girlz jus said, "pfft, screw the solstice, we're comin out today instead!" 
of the two, Summer is the one i was really hopin would sprout tomorrow, but meh, whatever day it happenz, birth day is alwayz exciting, regardless 
and, theze two now make 16/16 on germ/sprout success for me after one year of growin & that'z not too shabby me don't think i'm likin growin outside so far, cuz hell, for a lazy grower like me, it'z perfect, lol...i mean, 3 outa 4 thingz a plant needz are all supplied readily by nature & all i hafta provide is the soil 
hopefully, the new soil mix i made up will play out good, we'll see 
i'm also likin outside, cuz i can grow in bigger potz than the 3L i'm limited to inside, which will equal out to bigger plantz/more yield 
anyhoo, we'll be gettin more rain tonite & tomorrow, but they'll be more or less under cover from it, so all is good for now 
ppp
i think the topsoil dried up a bit much, so i jus misted-n-mounded to get her back upright & they'll all get a good drink tonite that i'll never catch! no matter how many timez i stand like this!" ppp
first, she kept fallin over & couldn't get up...fixed that...then, a fuckin itty-bitty lil grasshopper, barely 1/4" long probly, decidez to eat half her leavez i been seein the lil sob hoppin around the plantz the past couple dayz, but he was hard to catch, and besidez, he hadn't done any damage...until this morning, when i awoke to find the above pic now, i don't like harmin nature in any kinda way, but well, needless to say, i caught the lil fucker, and ---> he died! 
choo-choo! ppp
i mean, i'm all for givin a plant a chance..."no auto left behind", etc etc...but c'mon, she'z 11d, and well, look at her my strong inkling at this point is to jus g'head & pull her & plant a bubble gum in her place bloody fuckin grasshopper anyway, grrr tbh, both of em would probly come back, like Xena did, but, like Xena, they'll inevitably be stunted, and quite frankly, i've had my fill of stunted plantz lately i may give Pearl a chance, i may not, idk yet... ppp
