~ Showing small growth, still establishing 1st node but all looks well and healthy.
~ Preparing soil: Tested with Ferry Morse garden soil test kit and shows lack of Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorous.
~ Soil also a bit alkaline at: 7.5
~ Used Southern AG brand fertilizers (Soil Acidifier, Calcium Nitrate, and Sulfate of Potash) to bring up NPK as well as lower the PH.
~ PH now at 6.3

~ Built a grow box out of some spare lumber and fluorescent lights not being used. Have some other plants growing in it before I can take them out to the garden.
~ Bought 6 GE plant/ aquarium 40 watt wide spectrum bulbs. Also have 4 23 watt CFL's running for supplemental light for a total of 332 total watts.
~ Plants are showing considerable growth and soon I may need to transplant them to a larger container, checked roots and they are growing to walls.

~ Plants are really starting to take off now!
~ Transplanted them into full 1 gallon containers with a mixture of garden soil, perlite, and saw dust.
~ PH still hovering around 6.0
~ Grow box temp: 75- 80 degrees.
~ Outdoor temperatures are starting to get warmer so I am exposing plants to exactly 6 hours of sunlight from 10am- 4pm. Also giving them additional 18 hours under fluorescent lights. 24 hour light cycle

~ Plants getting 8 hours of direct sunlight and 16 hours of fluoro's.
~ Also tranplanted again into larger containers with another mixture of fresh compost, garden soil, and perlite.
~ Feeding plants with full stength nutes and plants seem to be reacting well
~ Also made modifications to Grow Box for the better, plants are starting to outgrow it!
~ PH spiking a little at 6.5, will lower with soil acidifier or blood meal.
