Stare deeply into the photon chamber! Came home from work today and checked on plants. 649 Spada had nearly propped up cover to cooler (Must be on steroids). All leaves looking yellow. Then I sorta remembered something from a college botany class. 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + photons ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O. OR carbon dioxide + water + light energy yields glucose + oxygen + water or even more simply .... PHOTOSYNTHESIS! I was so focused on getting the seeds up I forgot to give the plants what they need to survive --- light. I placed them in mini greenhouse with light source (photon chamber) Frame is one seen in my April 5th diary entry. Plastic is 6 mil plastic remnants from outside cloches. Two hot water bottles inside with thermometer. Notice left two seeds, 1297 Ghaye and 1236.5 Wolf, are propped up on baking pan so they are equidistant from photon generator as the 649 Spada. I fully expect the 649 to get up any day now and go and plant itself in the garden. After a couple hours of light I can see green starting to come into the cots.
