If interested I did a small log here: http://www.vancouverseedbank.ca/forums/read.php?3,796 Met some great people but not what I needed. I give great thanks to those that helped me before I found this site. Such patience for this n00b! I have to thank them, one and all. It was great but not the crowd we have here. And not what I needed. I kept searching and hunting and found many great people out there. And a huge knowledge base. I learned. Then I found Green Passion and I came home. Now I will show you HOW I HAVE TORTURED MY POOR PLANTS AND HOW THEY ARE DOING NOW. I will show you from the start what I have. Please bare with me and some of you might want to cover your eyes. This is pretty brutal. No plants were killed in this but I did try my best. I have dealt with heat stress, ph too high, over feeding, underfeeding, underwatering, (from fear of overwatering) lack of light, too much light, you name it. But I am happy to say now I think I understand. I have a new batch of 20 seedlings up and thriving. The first batch of 15 ARE GROWING!! (they had totally stopped and I was sure they would not make it) My goal is to have a group of mothers for clones and a crop outside when the weather warms, in several spots, of 4 or 5 each. We live in the country so all things are possible. The first lot of pics are of my first 15 plants. Now I have a nursery upstairs for which I bought a New Wave T-5 with 6500k tubes for seedlings, veg and clones (still in the closet) and a flowering chamber downstairs. We have 2 -15 amp Plugs installed on one side. The space is 4 ft by 7ft tall, and aprox. 7 ft deep for the flower side. The whole room is aprox 20 ft long. This is a long 4 ft wide room which has shelves on the other side. Once the power is all hooked up we will move the nursery downstairs but we have a time shortage until my man finishes his course. (he is on the honour role too!) priorities you know. It is working for now so that is fine  |
