A lot has happened since my last post. I actually put the 4 sprouts outdoors about a week ago and they havent shown much growth since. I think its because its still getting down to around 40 degrees at night around here, sometimes colder. That is why i plan on planting the next 10 sprouts i have growing indoors outside in a couple weeks.
I also created a stealth little grow box to hide away in my closet. Right now it's got 10 sprouts and is chillin at just below 80 degrees. Before i finally took the time to create the air vent the temperatures were getting above 100 when i left the lid closed! Thankfully ive figured out a way to keep it cool. Tell me what you think!
They were stretching a bit in my windowsill because they weren't getting enough direct sunlight. So i figured i'd bend them a bit before putting them into my growbox. One of them got all burnt up yesterday when it got about 100.
Anyone got any ideas how i could keep the light from coming out the vent without defeating the purpose of the vent?
Also, ive got the lights set on a 18/6 cycle right now. Is this too much sunlight considering i plan on putting them outdoors in a few weeks?
Ive got two 23 watt cfls right now, and room for 1 more. i dont know if i should add another or up the wattage of the bulbs. I figure more light is always better but i dont want it too get too hot or produce too much light out of the vent. Ideas?
tip for rain/wind/outside early..take 2 liter coke bottles and cut the top off where it starts to curve up. remove wrapper to get clear bottle. flip over and make holes for air two inches down, plant your plants and cover w/the bottle burring it 3-4 inches into the soil. perfect mini grow house till your plants can fight those brutal winds and nasty rains...
i believe its 8-12 inches to be planted in ground, give them a root system get them healthy b4 u do any planting in the ground u could end up killin all ur plants by bugs eating the lil ones wait till they are about 6-8 inches thats when i put them in the ground outside, this year im going pots for easy moving last year i had acouple neighbors trying to cut off buds over fence not cool

anyone in the northeast, just be careful of frost. i just put out 50 clones, and two nights ago they were hit with a light frost. it wasnt to serious...just the bottom leaves shirveled up. but mine are anywhere form 12"-16". im also in VT, and might be a higher elevation?
i plan on planting in 1-2 weeks i always plant before night like around 6 so the plants have overnight to deal from the shock of transplanting i live in ME anyone else?
yeah ME here too, only have one sprout hoping it can stay outside tonight if the temps don't drop to low, I have them in tiny pots, for easy carrying when I move them, they are growing with my other herbs
