Comparative Grow: from Dutch Passion at The Vault

It's not oregano

I made a change to my cabinet yesterday, gained myself another 6 inches (oooer missus). Saw a comment by @diyled that he had a few strips, boards etc with minor damage that anyone local could have for free, as he wanted to clear out his scrap pile before moving premises. 5 minutes drive later and he was wiring me up a HLG qb132 v2 board that had a diode where the phosphor coating had come off, so he couldn't sell it as perfect. I hadn't even thought of a board, so if I hadn't seen that post I would never have gone down this route. I bought the driver off him but it was still dirt cheap.

I put it in the cupboard last night and it fits like a dream and even leaving a 3/4" gap above it for ventilation, I still have miles more head space than using led light bulbs. I set it at 45w to see how the plant reacts, she looked happy enough this morning at 5am, temps were 17C so I might think about putting the driver inside the cabinet to help temps, I will see how it goes during the day.

A massive public thank you to @diyled. I am so lucky to have somebody like that literally on my doorstep.

No real plant pics, more of a before and after with the new board. I rotate the container every day in case the plant looks to be moving position in the container!

You can see the diode with the missing coating in the pic - works fine for me without it!

2nd bean finally popped. The 1st one was
fine,came back a few hours later and she was slumped over.Not sure what happend.Thete's no crease where the bend is,also no sign of damping off. I tossed a lil scoop of coco to prop her up and see if she'll str8'n out and resume happyness.Could've simply been one of the pebbles shifted and knocked her over.

The second bean has 3 leaflets and cotys. Whorled Phyllotaxy? I had a male recently culled that had 3 branches per node all thru his life,never grew out of it.

Pretty much as Nizza said, apart from the spots they look healthy enough, so i am also of the give it a week point of view.
One other thing it could be is water burn from the droplets on the leaves, but that would probably happen to all the plants not just one, but something to think about.
