A week since my last update, and you can see my bucket plant is adding nodes, but not a lot of height. Could be worse, though!
You'll notice some damage on the lowest leaf node. I've seen this before, but don't know what causes it. It doesn't seem to spread, or cause any major problems. That lower leaflet has little reason to exist much longer anyway.
The short stature might be because this is a male, resembling the very stout father. We'll see in a few weeks!
There's a Reclining Buddha from the main garden patch. These ones are in cups, and about a week older than the bucket plant. They get more wind from the fan, so they're hardier. I've cut back to 7 at this point. 6 adult pots (plus the bucket) will completely fill my little garden for flowering.
Each plant has 4 active tops now, so they'll be hungry for nitrogen and other nutrients. I will have to move them to their larger pots fairly soon.
Pretty good for plain soil and water, eh?
Grow in peace.

A month old, from seed, nothing but water? That cute little plant is actually pretty impressive if you think about it!
At least there hasn't been any catastrophic failures. Things are on track for success.
Looking great dude!
It's aliiiiive!
So far this one doesn't look like anything special, but it's not dead yet, so I have a hope of making it onto the leaderboard :P
Looking good, the leaf structure is really nice on this strain.
The pot is starting to peek out over its pot now from my pov
Maybe once it's above the bucket rim, it will get more action from the fan, and strengthen up?
Also, I wonder how the roots are doing. Maybe the water isn't penetrating very far, to allow a good root system? Bucket life presents some unique challenges..
They are also looking nice to me.
You should enter into your local Farmers' Market. Even though you don't have a lot of land, you could do garlic and sprouts...especially hemp sprouts mmmm spicy and organic.
