I forgot to take pictures of the starting process. Basically, you mix a couple teaspoons of chia seeds with a quarter cup of water, let it goop up for a half hour and then start applying it. It's "fun and easy" like the advertisement says. You're then supposed to leave it alone for two days, no water, to make sure the seeds adhere to the clay. Next you fill the head up with water and the head starts sweating. I throw a plastic bag over the top to "greenhouse" it. It takes a day for the sprouts to start.Here's the head with the bag off:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A day later. The more you leave the greenhouse on, the longer the roots get, so you gotta watch it, depending on how neat you want to keep it.
----------------------------------------------
Moving around the house, looking for the sun. You have to turn it a lot so the sprouts don't reach to much in one direction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day. The sprouts were really reaching, not getting a a lotta lotta sun, so I'm not really getting a real tight "bush". Kinda "leggy", I think the term is.
---------------------------------------------
Aw, yeah...
Soakin' up the rays...
------------------------------------
I stick it back under the bag sometimes, because the sprouts near the hole get a little dryer and need the humidity. Trying to get an even plumage.
-------------------------------
Another day or two... Basically full grown. The leaves will get bigger in the summer, and give the pet better coverage. This is fine, though. I like it.
Bonus pic:
My Kalenchoe's blooms are almost all open! Pretty cool!
thanks for looking.
