I found another fungus gnat flying around the kitchen.
It's the first one I've seen in around two weeks.

I'm not going to worry about it.
I figure that if I have healthy living soil, and a healthy living plant, they won't get out of control.

I went to pull out one of Reiko's plants to put her on the counter for some pictures, and it was REALLY wobbly, and looked like it was ready to keel over, so I just left it.

They are really top heavy, and had no wind to toughen up their stocks.


So here they are unposed...

There's not much action going on with my sprout, but she is probably drilling herself a 15" tap root.

I'm not going to dig her up to find out though...
But I do want to... lol








You can see her first set of leaves...

Well hello sunshine :wave:


I've been trying to take a clear picture of my sprout with my new camera/cellphone.














I was thinking about clipping my jewelers loupe to my phone, but it's got four cameras on the back and I don't know which one to clip it to?

And I don't want to scratch up my lenses.


Macro is good enough.
I don't need microscopic magnification even with the trichs.


I don't want to bother with checking trichs anymore.
I'll just learn to read my plant with my naked eyes.

(Well, reading glasses maybe. My eyes are old. Lol)

I'm only running the ceiling lights now and they're turned down below test current.

I don't want to broil or sunburn my plant again.

As much as I like seeing purple, tanned stems, I want to avoid them with this plant.

No stressers.

I'm going to keep her warm and happy,...
At least for the veg, then I'm going to crank her up to broil. Lol

I'm going to go for a gram per Watt with these girls.











There are no rules as far as I know of that limit time.

These girls will do well with 12, 16 or even 30 weeks of gestation.



Grams per watt... ??
Does it matter if it takes 2-3 times longer to get there?


I don't know, and I don't care...

2-3 times the energy cost.
So what...

It's all about the grams and Watts.

I might grow these girls till summer time. Lol

30 weeks it is...

I'm pretty wasted,..
I might cut them tomorrow.

Who knows ,??

Either way, I'm going to end up with some pretty good weed. Lol ??

Nearly there dude - and grams per watt or per watt/hour, they are fine looking girls grown with love under low wattage lights. * GRATZ * :D

It's warm and dry in the closet.

I keep spraying the top of the soil to keep it damp.

Just a few drops of water for the sprout.

The one cotyledon is turning pale yellow.

Should I be concerned about that?
She is kind of purple too, and I'm wondering if she's stressed or something?

Maybe she is using up her energy reserves to grow a big tap root??
