They look like clones that are reverting back to veg from flower mode.

Lophophora’s plant torture experimentation bathroom?

That looks like a lettuce you’ve got growing in there!
Maybe prickly lettuce looking at that top left leaf. Edible, but not very palatable. They have a good amount of latex that causes a bitter, astringent taste. Ick! Those things grow so fast! Could be not prickly lettuce, but it’s definitely some lettuce.
I could spend too much time in your bathroom. My wife would worry about my GI.

I think it’s actually Lactuca canadensis . They tend to have that prickliness on the new growth.
Sorry. I know you didn’t ask, and I’m already into a second post about it. Lol. Silly weeds.

Quick update on the lettuce, I don’t think it liked being uprooted.
You sure that’s lettuce?
Obviously, it’s Lactuca canadensis. Practically everyone knows that.
Wait, does lettuce have these little flowers?
This obituary just gets longer and longer…
Hey, that was my line!

They definitely have those flowers! I think it’ll be okay not in your pot. Looks way better uprooted. I weed lettuce out of all sorts of plants in our hoop house. I’m surprised you’ve only got one growing in there. They do produce wind dispersed seeds like dandelions. I can see the confusion.
You got this man. Just remember the blue sage bee. He’s got this too!

I second floyd’s theory of revegging. Those plants look like they hit 12/12 and back again.

That’s weird, I wonder how that happened. Probably nothing that I did, that’s for sure.
Is that so?
Yeah it was probably due to some other unrelated incident…
Leave it to me to mess up some fem autos. I mean again.

What never?
No never.
What never!?
Well, hardly ever.
He’s hardly ever sick at sea!
He’s hardly ever sick at sea!
AHH!
AHHHH!
I mean- Ah, yes. What are you doing here?
What were you doing?
Just, uhh, gardening of course. I can show you now, all the gardening. There’s not much to see just yet but let’s have a look anyways.
I top dressed these pots just yesterday with some 4-4-4, kelp meal, and alfalfa meal. Not precisely sure how much I used but we’ll see how that goes.
While stirring the topdressing in the 15 gallon pot I accidentally unearthed a worm in the nude, or at least I assume it was nude because it squirmed back under the soil pretty quickly. Either way it’s good to know my gardening staff is still hard at work.
I also realize it looks like I beat my plants but they get really windwhipped from the oscillating tower fan. Aside from the ragged tips the leaves have a nice happy green colour and that’s not bad. Growth hasn’t been the fastest likely on account of winter temperatures. I’m just saying that though, I can’t be certain since the battery died in my thermohygrometer.
Not sure if I want to swap out the fan for something more gentle, if I even have a suitable replacement on hand. If anything the current fan builds character, and looking at the size of previous stalks I have to say it does a fine job. Besides I’m just too lazy to mess with it today.
Speaking of lazy
Oh yes, thank you for noticing.
It might be time to chop down this mutant. Not sure anything is going to really to redeem the plant at this point. There might be a good two grams of “developed” buds on her, tops. Plenty of trichrome development though, what a shame.
Oh well. I guess all I can do now is chop her down and toss another seed in water to fill the vacancy.
Anyways thank you for the unexpected visit, I always appreciate the company. Have a good night and I’ll see you later!
…
Finally…
So give three cheers and one cheer more-
For the captain of the Pinafore!
Get out of here already!

Well it was fun while it lasted. Had a great thing going, too.
What are you trying to say?
It’s over. The dream is over.
You’re giving up the grow?
What!? No, no. My family finally discovered the spare bathroom. They know it all. The fixtures actually work, the toiletries are fully stocked, even the hand soap dispenser is full. All this time, wasted.
Why? How?
Your wife ever tell you “I want a dual flush toilet, the kind with buttons”?
Even though you clearly explained the situation and made sure everyone had their turn before starting the job, the family waits until you’ve completely ripped out the fixture before declaring a bathroom emergency.
I gotta go to the bathroom, Daddy!
Not now!
Uh, what?
Okay, by you I actually mean me. But it’s a true story.
About your plants…
Huh? Yeah they’re fine, better than ever.
Too bad about my space though. Now that I think of it there’s a little crawlspace under the stairs “Lophophora’s crawl space under the stairs”. No, that name needs work. Maybe I could section off that little spot behind the furnace, they’ll never think to look there.
I’ll see myself out.
Oh, sure, sure. Just don’t let anyone else know where I’ve been hiding all this time, deal?

I hate those dual flush toilets. I can never remember which button is for which and I really don’t want to problem solve while taking a shit.
Under the stairs could work. I used to grow in a fireplace👍
Where there’s a will there’s a way. I have faith you’ll sort it out.

I’ve got a strategy- order one of those Japanese toilet seats for the upstairs so the family forgets all about my fortress of solitude.

RIP Sticky Dancer
I forget when I planted it - 2023 March 18
Today we gather to pay tribute to yet another fallen seedling. This time the seedling was a Sticky Dancer courtesy of @Qtip (thank you).
After a couple weeks I’ve come to the conclusion that she was just too sticky to live and stalled out. So long little seed.
Very touching.
Here’s hoping this is the last eulogy to echo from the spare bathroom. In fact I feel so strongly about this that I went out today to fetch a secret weapon.
Dirt?
Not just any dirt, seed starting mix specifically. Just look at the bold claims emblazoned upon the packaging “20% bigger plants, guaranteed”! How can I go wrong!?
You?
Listen, it says satisfaction guaranteed right on the bag. This has to work.
But what about the spare bathroom?
You must have thought I was joking…
This should buy me another couple months at least.
Wow… I meant the plants.
Oh, right. Well I was just getting to that.
On the right is Bruce Banner x Marathon OG, and on the left is Charolette’s Yesterdream.
The Yesterdream is a monster, I had to give her a healthy bend earlier today. Every day I raise the lights, she grows to touch the lights again. Hopefully the side branches will continue in this relentless onslaught.
The Bruce Banner is looking a bit angry.
Oh you don’t want to see her when she’s angry…
Not a fair comparison between the two given the staggered planting schedule. The leaves are growing kind of sideways because the fan had her growing on a 45° angle but I righted her stalk and expect her to follow in the footsteps of her sister. She’s only a few weeks away from dazzling us all.
So what’s the plan with the dirt?
Planting another Sticky Dancer of course! I’ve already got the next candidate soaking in water. This time I’m planning to make @Qtip proud- Not like in terms of defoliation but by growing a happy and healthy plant.
You?
Well either that or write another eulogy but we have fun in here, don’t we?

That was a rhetorical question, no need to respond. Anyways thanks for visiting, hope to see you again soon!

Thanks for the tag @lophophora.ca! I hope the next ones run better, I haven’t had much luck with them either.

Same here… my conclusion was the only way it would last 3 months was if you were planting in 50 gallon pots… 
It’s good for starting seedlings, just plan on up-potting into hotter soil around week 3 (or feed them).
Cheers

I’m your private dancer, a dancer for money, and any old music will-
Hey
You really need to stop sneaking up on me like that… Uhh, while I’m gardening.
Was that Whitney Houston?
No, it was Tina Turner. I mean- I was just repotting this Sticky Dancer. The first one kinda stalled out on me but this one is coming up strong.
How old is that sticky dancer?
I’m actually not sure… A few weeks ago? Either way it’s time for a new pot.
There we go.
Did you know Private Dancer was originally written by Dire Straits?
I wasn’t singing that song, okay!?
Alright, alright… I believe you.
Okay, good.
Hey wait, what’s in that other 5 gallon pot? Just above the Sticky Dancer in that last picture.
Oh, you must mean the (MBAP x DG) x DG.
(MBAP x DG) x DG?
Yeah, (Man bear alien pig x Double Grape) x Double Grape. Pfft, I thought everyone knew that…
Really?
Nah, I had to ask but I know what it means now.
Check it out, here’s a photo I took before repotting.
You can see the Sticky Dancer still in the little green pot, and the (MBAP x DG) x DG in the five gallon bag on the left. I actually popped both those seeds around the same time, only a day or two apart.
How are the other plants stacking up?
Slowly but surely? Things are coming along.
I can definitely smell the plants now, no hiding these girls. I think the fun part is just starting.
You sure like to have fun in here, don’t you?
Uhh, yeah… yeah. It’s been really nice seeing you but do you think next time maybe you could knock?
