Frisian dew starting under houselamps

Friday 28 April. Yesterday week 4 started, it was 28 days since I sowed the first plant. the second one is about a week underway and its pointy leaves are growing well. I kind of found out how to make plants grow under electric light. I put my hand over the plant and if it the warmth feels about right that is the height I hang the lamps. Plants are hanging in my window. Gradually I built a growing tent out of cardboard tape and aluminium foil. Yesterday our king had his birthday, and the sun was shining all day. so I had the plants outside in the sun! Spring is a bit on the grey and cold side this year. Today is completely overcast so the plants stay inside. Because the weedplants are growing well under ordinary led lamps I allso started another project, I bought two "surinaamse peper" plants, which are similar to habanero peppers, but more aromatic they say. Put hem in a bucket with bit of living soil from my garden and the rest normal potting soil with a bit of fertiliser and a handfull of dried cowmanure. Because pepperplants in the tropics can live several years I am planning to keep those plants next winter. To do is to prepare the planting spot for my second frisian dew, And prepare the soil buckets for the affies, (autoflowering) Lots of worms! I allready have germinated 4 sunflowers in a big bucket, hoping to grow them beyond slug and snailsize in buckets on a table. A lot of sunflowers in the hope they will distract from the frisian dew, which, Deo Volente, will reach tree size. Trouble with growing in the netherlands, is that it is not legal to grow weed, allthough I can buy it from 3 different shops in walking distance. Five plants are "allowed, tolerated", but housing agencies may cause problems. When the setup looks commercial you may become homeless. Update the first of may. Yesterday morning my telephone died. Now I got a new one so I can make pictures of my plants. Yesterday I decided that the big one has to stay outside, she grew too big to easily hang in my window. It is still a bit chilly for the time of year, but she had some sunshine, and on my west facing varanda, in the afternoon, even at temperatures near freezing, I can sit there in the sun and make my vitamin D from march onwards. Yesterday my Surinamese peppers thrived while the temperature at the airport was eight degrees. The top leaves of the pepper plants were rather pale, probably from standing in the shop in poor light conditions, and they turned to a healthy green in a couple of hours outside. It seems that capsicum (bell peppers, chili etc) require more light and higher temperatures than Cannabis. I just got a phone from my girlfriend and after the tedious process of installing google account and stuff on my new device, I made a picture. Yesterday morning she had her last shot of electric light. It seems she does just fine outside. Funny how sowing in a 12 liter bucket and the use of lams make that she is growing a lot wider than in previous springs. Now I am going to upload the picture, and compare it with the picture of last thunderday. Update for 2nd of may: Plants are permanently outside. I am wondering how well they grow, even though air temperatures are low, and a winter coat is the right choice biking around town, plants looked very happy leaves pointing up in the morning. "Meten is weten" is Dutch for saying: "Measuring is knowing" So this means that if I want to know how well my plants are, I will have to take measurements. So for the big plant now it is: Height: 27 cm. Wingspan 37 cm For the small one: Height 6 cm Wingspan: 12 cm Third of may : Nice sunny weather. allthough close to freezing early in the morning. It was terrybly cold last night. Plants do not really seem to mind the cold nights when it is sunny they have the happy morning leafposition, they look very happy. Third night out in the open. No more balancing acts to hang the plant on its spot, or worrie if the lamps should be raised. I created some sort of seeding table.
