This 940.6 Gerry (2003 Haist X 1200 Adams (2145 X 1495)) has been growing since...

Yup. 10-28-25. It was Jiffy Seed-Starting Mix, Natural and Organic with MYCORRHIZAL INOCULANT, Bio Grow Endo Plus from Holland's Land O' Giants, lol, mixed in when it was sprouting time, 2025! The BGEP is about 4 years old to begin with, butt if I look at my seed experiments, I know I can see the fuzz and the filaments collectively; SO, it remains effective for a very long time if it is used and then dried out and maybe even frozen, etc. I don't have a microscope, but I know it's there. I simply put failed or no-longer-needed sproutings in the freezer, snap them off the next day and toss in the trash once that plant is no longer needed. I keep the cup and SS Mix and use it for anything I want, then. In this case, a test, for some reason, in October, of the 940.6. eg

This must be the first pic of it once I had transferred it from one light to the other. I miss reaching for the light knob and having to gently push a leaf outta the way, lol. It seems to be growing at like a 1/2-inch-per-day rate butt who knows. eg

This is it as of yesterday. I had been watering randomly into that little plastic cup with regular-strength (1TBSP/GAL H2O) Expert Gardener 24-8-16 since this plant was able to cry and just yesterday switched to Miracle-Gro 10-52-10 to severely initiate blooming and a PUMPKIN to begin forming, lol. Lighting is completely random, from a 14-watt LED Walmart Great Value Bulb; I have aspirations to get a 4-pack of 200-watt-equivalent bulbs for ALL lighting, even for ME. I doubt VERY much that it'd be doing even this well without Mycorrhizae as a key soil component. It is forming plenty of males all over it. Time to party! eg
