Another week has passed, and these guys are taking off, and the leaves are looking very healthy indeed. There's still a few gnats around, but not many they don't seem to be affecting the plants much. My fan did blow up this week, so I had to get a new one, not the best fan, but I've found a way to make it work by blocking the entrance somewhat, so we can keep it for now. I made some aerated compost tea with some leftover worm castings. In my experience nothing beats freshly harvested worm castings. This was maybe 2 weeks old, so not as amazing as fresh, but still worth concocting. Add some organic molasses, a small amount of my birdshit fertilizer, A little ph balancing of the water with lemon juice and cider vinegar (as always) to hit 6.5. Drop in a large cloth bag with the castings, aerate for 24-48 hours, and your plants will love you. I had to balance the lights somewhat, still maintaining around 40cm distance from the main light, if the leaves are pointing up too much, I raise the light again. I think another week or two maximum and these will be going into the 14L pots, with plenty more fresh worm castings. Which reminds me, my worms are due a feed.
