IT DECIDED TO BLOOM!
Spoiler, sad news
In dirt. Outside. Not in hydro.
What did I learn? Saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) seems to need a cold shock and/ or short days to get the signal to bloom.
This means, that I probably (hopefully) just need to wait until the days get shorter. Optimistically. Or, worse, it needs cold temperatures, which means, that I have to place every pot with the bulbs inside onto my balcony, making the indoor plant aspect obsolete.
Also, I accidentally dropped a pot, so I had to repot the already germinated bulbs.
I noticed that the skin of them peeled off and started rotting. I really hope that this won't attract too many fungus gnats, or I'll get mad. This means, that I have to flush the pots now regularily to get off any dead plant matter. This fucking sucks man.
I really really hope that I even like the taste of saffron. This is such a fucking pain. If it also tastes like grandpas' arse, like the only time I tried commercial saffron, I'm gonna cry man.
Cheers.
Well, at least we can learn from your mistake and know what to avoid then.
