Hello, I am new here. I like this journal feature so i guess i will start a journal.
At the moment i am only growing 1 plant. it is approx 1 week old. it grew for 5 days on the window sill (approx.) Tonight is my baby's 2nd full 24 hour day under lights. My lights are typical flourecent light tubes for growing vegetables.
As i have odne some reading and research on the site, i have made the decision to go to compact fluorescent light. This is a better choice for me since it does not take up so much room. I will buy these lights within a week as my schedule permits.
My plan is to grow this plant until it becomes obvious if it is a male or female. Regardless of its sex, it will help me learn some general guidlines for how to grow. If i find out it is male i will ungracefully chunk it and then plant another one or two in hopes of a female.
For now my set up is mediocre at best. I have a simple 10-15 gallon pot and two flourecent light bulbs. The pot has been raised with tiles up to 2 inches from the light. I will take them out 1 by one as it gets taller, then when the tiles are finished i will actually raise the light.
Anyway, i dont know what else to say.
Here are three pictures.
The one by the ruler is day 4 or 5 by the window sill. it is about 3.5 inches tall.
The second picture is the night i transplanted it (3 days after the first picture) and the begining of its first 24 hour cycle (about 4 inches tall)
the third picture is after its first 24 hour cycle under lights and is about 4.5 inches tall.
I will try to do a daily log of when i water it and how much it grows.
The last time i watered it was 24 hours ago. I gave it about 2 cups of water (measuring cups, not drinking cups)
