A Recap of Last Year's Avocado Experiments πŸ₯‘Exp.01-05πŸ₯‘

Since I recently started a new avocado experiment I figured I should do an update/recap on all the #AvocadoExperiment fun I had last year for anyone who was following along... πŸ™ƒβœŒοΈ
(Pics not uploaded in order.)

πŸ₯‘Exp. 01 - Successβœ…
"Hoss" Started by toothpick method, grown in #PothosWater and fungi">#Mycorrhizalfungi concentrate.
By far the fastest/healthiest growth out of the five. 🀘
About 1 month to start growing, and then about 2 more before it was ready to be potted.
Did not take well to being potted, but is starting to adjust now that I moved it to the plant room.

πŸ₯‘Exp. 02 - Successβœ…
"Waterboy" Started by toothpick method, grown in plain filtered water.
Healthy growth but not as big as Hoss.
About 1 month to start growing, and then about 5 more before it was ready to be potted.
Adjusting well to being potted. πŸ™ƒ

πŸ₯‘Exp. 03 - Neutral πŸ‘πŸ‘Ž
"NoName" Started by toothpick method, grown in plain pothos water.
The roots grew well, but the top growth got powdery mildew or some similar fungal infection I was never able to get rid of. It lives out back now. The roots are healthy and alive and the pit is on it's 6th new attempt to start a tree... 🀷
Started 6 months ago.

πŸ₯‘Exp. 04 - Failure🚫
"Eggy" Started by fully submerging in pothos water.
After 4 months of no change I finally potted it in hopes it would grow.
Unfortunately it had been rotting from the inside out and within 5 days it was completely brown and shriveled up.

πŸ₯‘Exp. 05 - Successβœ…
"Thomas" Started by placing directly in dirt, watered with #mycorrhizae and pothos water.
Took 5 months to start growing.
Doing well so far! Very smol and cute. πŸ™ƒ

If you're looking for info/pics on a specific experiment, I made some vanity tags for them where you'll only see posts about the one you're looking for. πŸ™ƒβœŒοΈ

Omgggg I forgot how many avocados you experimented on! 🀣🀣 It’s not like Hoss and Waterboy were my favorite 🀭🀭

I was also excited for eggy because was hoping it would work, but maybe NEXT time πŸ‘€πŸ€­

Thanks again for tagging me!! You’re so good 🫢🏽
Thanks @NightBloom! πŸ™ƒπŸ«Ά
@dreamlettuce Allll the avocados!!! Lol πŸ˜‚

Waterboy is definitely looking the best right now, but Hoss is due for a trim soon so that may help him out with growing more branches... πŸ™ƒ

Thanks for following along on my crazy journey! 🫢🫢🫢
@WickedValkyrie Thanks so much for the summary and update, very useful! πŸͺ΄πŸ’•
@LuxuryMint you'll have to let me know when you start yours and what you decide to try! 🫢
Excellent experiment! I joined all tags in case you post more updates. I’m very interested in seeing progress!
