Is it just me... or am I the only person and grower who has a sense of loss... a feeling of being maudlin and even a few moments when tears well up in my eyes at the time of harvest?
Maybe I am too attached to my plants. Maybe I am too emotional knowing all the hard work, endless hours of pampering, mixing nutrients to the perfect pH balance or even the realization that these girls will be gone in about 24 hours.
It just saddens me...
I spent the last four to five months cloning... watering and feeding... checking the humidity levels and temperatures repeatedly every hour. I made sure the coco coir soil was just the right amount of moisture needed. I made sure the oscillating fan was being fair and making all the girls dance and get their exercise. I even invested in new grow tent and lights. ALL for my girls! And now they will be leaving...
Sigh... It's all coming to an end...
I have to admit that this is by far the best crop I have grown to date; and considering this is only my fourth crop, I can only imagine what the future holds for me.
I am constantly snapping pictures and sending them to Mr Golden D at work; as some of his co-workers are always asking how things are going. And one of the guys stopped over here twice in the last two weeks to see my set-up, check on the growth and crop and even asked me if I would grow his or for him. Now... either the guy works too much and has little time to devote to growing.. or (and this is the one my ego is hoping for) he likes what he sees in my plants! While I haven't decided yet if I will or not grow his plants... it does give my self esteem quite a boost.
