Seedling is In The Ground 2294.5 Noel ’19 (F: 2114 Wallace x M: 1938 Sperry)

This shows some of the extras for the seedling that are provided. What can be seen is the four 100-watt reptile heat lamps that generate heat but no light to allow for proper photoperiod regulation of the plant.

There are also three thermometers to check the soil temperature all around the seedling, in addition to a digital readout (white area near the fan) the bottom number is the external probe and is the most accurate. The other number reads the units temperature and while this may work well for an indoor house environment in the outside environment the sun is absorbed by the plastic causing it to typically read higher than the actual.

There is a soil moisture probe and a CO2 sensor. There is an added fan to help circulate the air and what can not be seen is there is a 315watt CMH (Ceramic Metal Halide) grow light over the plant to help increase the day length to represent summer.
