Day 3
|
|
All ten seeds sprouted, looks like one decided to end it last night. Game of murder mystery gone wrong. The rest look like they are doing fine, one seems to be struggling with the seed cap. I had some bad experience trying to pull this off last grow, letting nature take its course. Possibly some stretching, hopefully lights closer will remedy.
Have four 27W CFL's on the seedlings. For the CFL's, I just took the plastic hood off of a couple bendy desk lamps, stuck in a splitter. Started off with the light about 6" away when they broke through the plugs. Now I've moved plants up so the light is about 2" away (flipped the humidity dome lid upside down and used it to hold up the tray). At two weeks, I'll put on the 400w metal halide.
115v computer fan blowing over the stems, helping cool the heat from the lights. Clip on oscillating fan must have broken in storage, isn't working at all - trip to Home Depot soon.
Humidity between 42% - 50%. Small tupperware container of water in the room to maintain.
Temps as low as 75, as high as 88. Nothing to worry about so far.
Feel free to post any thoughts or questions.
