Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and new to the garden if you know what I mean. This is my first attempt and I would greatly appreciate all advice, tips and comments as it will only help me and my babies!


Largest plant at six days. Taken 4 days ago.


Second largest plant at six days. Taken 4 days ago.


These plants receive true sunlight from 11am-6pm. From 7pm-10am they go indoors to receive additional light.

Indoor light is provided by four fluorescent lights.
The lights are setup in the following form:



Each bulb lays horizontally and sits about 3-4 inches above the the tops of each plant. I water each about once a day unless it rains. I will have more pictures up this evening.

looks good but watering once a day is probably a bit much. maybe once every three days.

Yeah that's what I was starting to think. I took some pictures today and this is what we have.

Plant 1



Plant 2



Plant 3

I'm assuming that Plant 3 looks unhealthy because of over watering? I have not watered the plants today or the two days prior to that. Although it rained both of those days for about half of the day each day. Again the plants spent the night indoors under the four bulbs shown above so no water accumulation occurred during the nights.

you should be watering based on how dry the soil gets, not on how many days it has been. you want to get into the routine of a dry/wet cycle meaning you water then let the soil dry out, then water...etc continuing the cycle. overwatering is one of the easiest ways to kill your plants. i suffered from stunted growth because i over watered my plants their first 2 weeks. trust me, they need aerated soil nearly as much as they need water

What can I add to the soil to raise or help raise air concentration?

When it comes time for transplant what would you suggest to remove all small bugs/pests and things in a wooded setting that could harm the plants? I am also worried about squirrels as we have a few in the area.

Also, the plants seem to grow faster indoor under the conditions stated above. Why is this? They receive at least 7 hours of direct sunlight.

Also I am beginning to get a little worried that bouncing the photo period around might be unhealthy for the plants. Some times I am not capable of moving the plants indoors until night when its been dark for over an hour. Once I bring them in they receive the light setup listed above. Then, in the AM they are moved back outdoors to receive direct overhead sunlight against white siding. Take notice of the pictures above as these plants are in vegetative stage. Is it a problem if the plants have to sit in the dark for a few hours at night? Also I am still curious about my previous question. Thanks all.

I suggest you buy some neem oil from your local store. it will prevent any bugs from eating your plants. If you want to control squirrels and other rodents you will have to buy some chicken wire, or some sort of barrier (i use green mesh to blend in) to prevent them.

Are you saying they grow faster inside than outside? I dont get the question.

I see. I actually had two questions. First being exactly that, I just don't see why they grow faster in artificial light. Second question is about moving the plant from outdoor to indoor and vice-versa. Well, if I move the plants a little later then expected they sit outside in the dark for an hour or so before they are moved. Is this bad for the plants?
