daylighting
Kob khun krap! I'm mixing up CFLs, LEDs and daylight (less daylight now, though, since I don't want the neighbors wondering about the VERY bright lights on, which is why I run them in the daytime when the sun is shining)! The plants will be getting some daylight through the window and thin curtain over it, but I wasn't planning on using so many bulbs. I have to work with sunglasses on now!
EDIT: wired and set up the scrubber and fan today. I can set the fan and scrubber vertically. Added HEPA cloth to the outside of the scrubber to keep the filter clean. With the fan control on the lowest setting it's pretty bearable. I put a packet of activated charcoal on the outtake on the fan and it should keep dust out and provide a little more filtering. With the fan turned up, the packet floats like it's on an air hockey table! The fan control is really a godsend. I don't need the scrubber right now, but it will definitely prove invaluable once it starts getting stinky!
Mixed up another pot of ProMix and hydroton and ran two quarts of boiling water through it to kill any gnat larvae that may be in there. I know this will destroy and beneficial bacteria in the soil, but it seems this brand is gnat city. Pity as I've used this brand for years and seen it change over the years. I also added a layer of hydroton to my other two pots in hopes of keeping the gnats at bay. I'll add the yellow traps when they come in.
I let the pot cool down for around half an hour and sowed another Jet-47 seed in it. It wasn't uncomfortably hot when I put the seed in, but perhaps a little too warm. I dribbled some room temperature tap water around the seed to cool it down. Hopefully I didn't cook it! Three plants should ensure I get at least one good female.
