Lighting The House of Vorkosigan

[Vorkosigan]

Mona revealed it is Mike. I will be away from my grow for a few days so I pulled Mike from the tent, he needs to last cold temps & minimal light while I'm gone because I don't have time to set up another area. The girls will all get a super dosing of food since I won't be around to feed them. *fingers crossed* Hope the babes survive my being gone.

Oh bollocks.

Itisi
it is isn't it?

@Itisi They're regular seed stock so I knew it was a possibility. The breeder said the stock was 4yrs old & not many seeds out there. If he survives until I'm home I'll rig my UFO light somewhere & harvest the pollen, use the rest of the plant for salve.

 

[Itisi]

Ah, a plan! Excellent. Here's a question for you. In a legal state, does a male plant still count as 1 plant?

Itisi
it is isn't it?

 

[Vorkosigan]

@Itisi Yes, unfortunately. I didn't have time to drop another seed yesterday so I'm still within my 4 Plant allowance. I'm still deciding if I want to drop another bean when I get back home. I have so many seeds to choose from & more on the way but only one grow space with the potential to stunt new babies as the eldest two will be flowering soon & I'll be turning on the UVB light for that.

30Dec - Blanca & Jewel received 2 cups of their mix. Helga received 1 cup & Mike received 2 cups of their mix. I moved Mike back into the tent because I felt sorry for him but he will get removed before he starts dropping pollen as I don't want seeds yet BUT I do want pollen LOL.

I removed a lot of the open containers of water to reduce the humidity, it has been between 60-65%, due to Blanca & Jewel starting their flowering.
Blanca before tie-down stood 10" (25.4cm). She's picky about nutes - gave me CaMg deficiency & now N tox claw

Helga has established and grown since this picture.
Mike the survivor coming in at 7" (17.8cm) before tie-down
Mike post tie-down (some bullocks for @Itisi)
Jewel takes whatever I give her & begs for more, the lush! She stood 9" (22.9cm) before tie-down

@Itisi Ah well, I have Yankee-speaking autocorrect. Thanks for the kind words. They are all stunted due to environmental issues but I'll take what I can get.
