Day 34 - 12/12 Day 9
8 inches tall today. =) Went to home depot and rigged some side lighting for her. She should be good for another week like this.
I helped the secondary branches past the fan leaves.

those lights could grow the plant through its entire cycle.
ive used 9 18 watt cfls and grew four plants under it with no problem. (180 watts)

Got any pics?
I am interested to see how much you pulled (or didn't pull) from 60w per plant.

They must of been small plants to fit under 180 watts.
I'll prob end up using 250 watts for this one plant.

LOL, I've been munching on Habaneros the past week, and thought about starting some more like I did last summer.

I had no idea how good the tomato and jalepeno seeds were gonna germ, so I put two in each cup. I'll just pluck out the second one if it sprouts.
Never had a prob germing pea seeds tho. Those bitches are tough!

Never tried peas myself, but I think if I did, I'd have to do 'Snow Peas'.

Got some nice bushy growth going still. I think since I have added the two lights the temps have been too high. I turned on the exhaust fan and repositioned the circulating fan to keep temps lower. I feel like she has slowed down due to the heat.
Prob gonna water her tonight.

Tis possible that her growth was slowed a bit, but the bush appears to be quite lush - I wouldn't worry too much unless she starts doing erratic things

You're right I think Pie, either a little too much heat, but possibly too much water too, but I know you're diligent on your water habits.

I wait five days to water.You're right I think Pie, either a little too much heat, but possibly too much water too, but I know you're diligent on your water habits.
The pot was thirsty. I watered with a half gallon and it drank it all. I think that plus the heat was causing droopage.
Watered with 1/4 tsp grow and 1/8 bloom to the half gallon.

Sounds good.
Like I said, I know your diligence.

I can kinda understand that, as you then have room for light to go to other close leaves, instead of just being blocked by one leaf.

She grew again. 10 inches tall today! I am watching the tops for signs of flowering. Hope to see the first hairs within a week.
