Guys I am back. Kinda. Sorry I disappeared, some life stuff happened. I have the photos to finish the four diaries that don't have harvests, I will get to that later. What has brought me back here has been a series of events that have led to me deciding to just start some beans with absolutely nothing. I've got no tent, no filters, no air conditioning, no substrate, no ferts, and no money. Pretty much all I have is some beans, and a tiny 15w LED that produces peak 130 μmol/s/㎡ (11.23 DLI @ 24h) and three Jiffy 7 peat pellets. Well here we are 48h later and two of three have popped as you can see. I've carefully moved them with twezzers into hydrated Jiffy 7's, and they're sat next to me now; I'll be able to watch them sprout. When they do I will put them under the ridiculous LED and just leave it on at like 6" above. I will explain more about the plan for this grow as it progresses; it is, like many of my grows, an expriment. How's everyone doing? Where my growmies at? UPDATE: 20/2/25 I think the one you see is the only one that will grow, I think I made the jiffys too wet. Plus 3 year old seeds.

Looks like only one survived. They were a bit wet. Today I bought a used cheapo LED for £30. Also found a photography booth and repurposed into a temporary tent. Upgrades! 💪 -- Update -- Day 3 24/2/25

This weekend I have upgraded my kit to include 100cm x 100cm x 180cm tent, as well as 5" airflow kit, and cheapo Chinese LED. No nutrients yet, hoping they arrive Tue/Wed.

Thanks! Unfortunately it's too small to get the new LED into so I am still using the tiny 15w bulb at the moment until I can get a tent.
