Wednesday, October 23 View Page Digging up the Tomato Bed 15x8 There was a lot of red brick under the area, had to remove-alot of work, but I will dig it deeper and wider soon. Also will be getting a Soil Nutrient Test done soon to see what I need for next year. The soil isn't too bad by eyesight but we will see.   Wednesday, October 23 View Page Doing Some studies, started an experiment as well, will update soon.   Thursday, October 24 View Page My small indoor grow room, with Mediocre lighting...lol but it works (150watt LED simulated flood lights-6500k I believe) with reflectors -it emits well over 10000-15000 lumen at each plant from about 10" away. Started some of these here in 5 gallon buckets back on the first week of August, it is now October 24 and I have a Megabloom that's growing as well as a single. What I would do next time is have two bulbs per plant, and Definitely use larger buckets-maybe 15gal each. But still can't wait to see what this will do in a few months. Also got some Ideas I am trying.   Thursday, October 24 View Page A Rw Cephai- I started on August 10th, a mega formed back on Oct 1st was pollinated fully and by about the 16th it started it's growth....here we are today is the 24th. Only problem is I have these in 5 gallon buckets which limits root/fruit size, so what I did was started with the buckets half full like potatoes and as it grew added more and more dirt till it reached the top...can't wait to see how the roots grew at the end.   Friday, October 25 View Page Plant experiments: Cytokinin treated plant Ga3 treated plant Ethylene treated plant Control plant 13 Locule Red/Yellow Tomato Seeds started at 6:30pm on October 23 2019 Presoaking Seed in the four different solutions listed above for Approx. 10 Hours Then the seeds will be grown in clear containers (Taco Bell Cups) in soilless medium that has 12-4-8 Fertilizer throughout. (Reason: the cups are deep and we will be able to watch roots grow) Items to watch : Days until emergence Height and Leaf Count by 30 day period Structure of Leaves, plant, color, and Flowers --- --- such as avg sepal count   Friday, October 25 View Page Experiment: Hormones effect on growth   Wednesday, October 30 View Page First Soil Test:Fall Looks like I Need Micronutrients... esp: Manganese, Zinc, and Boron and maybe lower pH a little. Happy Halloween Everyone! ????????????   Thursday, October 31 View Page Experiment update: 10/31 Control seeds sprouted first   Friday, November 1 View Page Experiment update: Looks like Ga3 seeds are next breaking through soil.   Monday, November 4 View Page Cytokinin and Ethrel soaked seeds popping up now, took a little longer than Ga3 and Control Seeds. About 12 days to germinate. Wonder if they will grow thicker meristems or have more seeds due to increased Cell Division.   Monday, November 4 View Page Ethrel   Monday, November 4 View Page Cytokinin
