Introduction - Week 02 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 100772.73, Overall another simple grow week! Soil moisture levels have been pretty steady all week. As far as garden maintenance, been refilling the humidifier daily. Did another IPM spraying early in the week. Glad the brown dust build up has now ceased. Mid-week, gave both girls their first fertilizer feeding (foliar). So far, growth has been looking nice and healthy! Oops! Sort of forgot to take height checks this week (Damnit Ensign). Plan to do so next week along with an increase in the DLI. Onward to next week.
