Today is day 22, I am not sure I can consider it week 3 of vegetation but I will be organizing by age not stage. Hoping to catch the bloom stage right on smelly day with bloom nutrients. Today is yet another day all clouds, below 23c. So I decided to go beyond basics. I added 1 fluorescent light bulb by Sun Blaster, at 26 w with 1,700 lumens and up to 10,000 hours bulb life. Full 6400 k power for propagation and growth. Equivalent energy use to a 100W regular light bulb and fits standard lamp socket size. Too add for extra reflection I relied on bud get wise thinking and am using a single layered reflective cloth that is a photo reflector. I cant find much on its use i n the garden so tomorrow I might decide to switch from silver side to white side for best energy reflection.
Day 25 - Under the FL 26W light with clouds she looked very primp but today with first hot sun in a while just a little dropping, Looking very nice dancing with the fan on. measured at 8 1/3 inches today
veg week 2: a day or two before adding top soil of nutrients, I fed the plant at sunrise and with a strong enough breeze she burped. Leaving me to understand two things, one - regular schedule of feeding water is important, and two - maybe if she burped its ok to add the nutrients and hope for a good season.
Day 23 - 2nd day of 26W FL light bulb, canopy is a bit fuller and about 1/2 in. taller. She is drinking slow. Window site is very cool only 15c outside at mid day. I am guessing this is the front end of Hurricane Elsa, we just had 2 weeks of clouds from Michigan, another 2 weeks of clouds in the forecast. Time to look at grow tents, one on display caught my attention.
