Talking YES!!!!

Did my weekly pest check last night and while thourougly checking in between the leaves I noticed something big bulky and green in the higher leaf area Inspecting it closer with a magnifier made me

That is no root nor leaf nor bug!! thats a spike popping out!! HURRAY

Its so small I can't even get a decent picture of it but as soon as its able Ill post.

You guys now propably think. "Poor kid is so happy with a blue magic" I truly am. I have proven to my friends the reputation I never failed on any plant. For now thank you all for having the patience to awnser my questions. Ill upload photos soon.

That's wonderful!!!

The only problem with finding spikes when they're just starting out is that the wait seems S-O M-U-C-H L-O-N-G-E-R!!!

See, now? You were soooo worried about your lights and you didn't need to be worried, right?

That spike is my prove I don't need to worry no more and just sit back and enjoy. I am convinced though the light did the trick.

In all my excitement I forgot to ask a small question

no what?? Just keep treating the plant as is. Can the flowers burn in the light or is the plant so clever to grow the flowers away from the light. In short: Can the flower/flowerbuds take as much light as the leafs or more??

Its growing so slooooow. Its too cold way too cold (14 degrees) so everything goes in slowmotion. Where is that summer the upcoming month april promised me.
