and here are my backup plants and some to be given
away to new growers. these are under my old 4 foot
shop light with just regular flourescent bulbs that always
worked just fine. but i needed another one for all of
the 16 plants i sprouted so i decided to try the high
reflective light with the reddish color indoor plant
bulbs to compare the differences if any between the
two. in 3 days they will start their greenhouse
acclimation where i will give them 3 hours direct sunlight
one day, then 6 hours the next, 9 hours the next and
go in the ground on that 9 hour night. its easy to carry
the transplants in and out of the house from flourescent
light to the real thing in these transplant containers.
in 6 days the roots will fill the 12" long by 6" wide
containers to the bottom. at transplanting they get
some mycch fungi as well. one week later they get a very
light dose of 20-20-20 ground drench to get them in gear.
