Ugh. So, got home from being away from the kids for 7 days. I walked into the room where my plants are to find the light switch in the off position!
(I've been such a space cadet lately
) So, I check out my plants and they look fine! Couldn't believe it. They stretched an inch or so, but other than that they look great. Growth has been slow for these since the start. The first week was my fault due to lack of water and they just really haven't picked up since then. These suckers are sharing 5,500 Lumen so I'm not really blasting them either.
The brown on the leaves is from organic teas hitting and sitting on them. The beasties are cranking as well as there is mold growing on the soil's surface. The light has been switched to 12/12 and I can see male characteristics on of the smaller plants.
Now, the misses is breathing down my back as she is prego (pregnant
) and she can get rather nervous. So, I am going to be setting up anywhere between 500W and 1000W of T5s so we can start going some real fruits and veggies in our "sun room". This will somehow ease her mind.
Either way, this is most likely going to be the only indoor fun I am having this year. However, the smoke I get off these plants will last me and I have scoped out an amazing place for growing this summer. It's in the middle of some wetland so it will be virtually unaccessible by humans and will have a reliable water source (pics below).
