Took me 3 tries to get 4 out of 5 seeds to sprout, luckily they germinate fast. The seeds were actually 1 year past their expiry date so that’s probably why. Don’t mind the thumbnail I’m just trying some new stuff 🙂 you can’t grown anything from rolled oats from the store. Music from Epidemic…
7 months… I was ready to give up a few times during this one. i don’t know what i did to it to grow so slowly and be so bushy. But i clearly did something wrong because it probably made hundreds of flowers and none wanted to get pollinated. I might have over done it…

This one was also affected by the earlier infestation of tiny white bugs that i had in the studio. It held back the growth of the plant tremendously. You can actually see when i managed to defeat them at day 90 (0:56) but then i started slacking and they came back a month later at…
I thought i messed up some shots during this one but it turned out great!

Super excited about the massive harvest i got from this one, totally worth 3 months 🙂 At 0:49 you can see when the fungus gnat larvae are starting to munch on everything that’s underground. Probably ate some tiny potatoes as well in the process. if i knew i would have waited a few more weeks…

Of course the one flower i was aiming at for the closeup shot didn’t fully grow into a bell pepper. I tried aiming at some new flowers to capture the full transformation but the rest of the flowers just started to fall off. Could be the infestation of small white bugs that have attacked the…
Broccoli is a cool weather crop that’s why it flowered before it had a chance to form a large head. The room that it was growing in is about 24°C (75°F) day and night. Would be better off growing it outdoors. but I’m happy with the results 🙂 Music from Epidemic sound: http://share.epidemicsound.com/3pS7H8 A Little…
I was expecting more and massive leaves after 2 months but it was probably the cheap old grow light i was using for this one, it even got a bit leggy in the beginning. I didn’t see a point in continuing the time lapse after 63 days. There has been a 3 week break in…
I have never grown catnip before and I really like how this one turned out.

Since getting this one to fruit would probably take a few years i thought i would stop at 4 months. Will put it in a light spot at home and see how big it will grow over time. “Selenicereus undatus, the white-fleshed pitahaya, is a species of Cactaceae and is the most cultivated species in…
