This ONE's for you El President, Gypsy Nivana. I grow with a collective strength and trust the loving vibes will be trapped within to be set free in a cloud of green heading your way.
I have been delighting in my years of wondering around I.C.Mag and here, now is the first of my grows that will be informed from the collective knowledge found here at I.C.Mag.
I believe in being a force of nature in my environment and can be brutal in my quest for knowledge. I plant normally by the moons cycles and enjoy a near perfect success rate this way, still it doesn't do to rest on our laurels, so this time I stuck my green toe in the water of Biodiversity and came up short with just over 50% popping. I use a black plastic really useful box and clear lid as my hatchery. In the guts of the box I run four 6" air-stones from a four way 10 ltr a minute pump. A fish tank heater nestles alongside the air-stones to steady the waters temperature. I used to grow in a grow tent, in an caravan awning and this addition of a water heater saved countless lives.
When I looked at my methods for raising seeds, I went with what regular gardening had informed and created an environment that I would want to be born into: A position besides a fast flowing stream.
For lighting I used T5's because of some folks here, i didn't even know what a T5 was and it took me an age before I convinced myself that I had happened upon the right product and brought it. Another problem living and growing in a caravan is that the legal maximum amps allowed into a caravan in this country is 15amp, my socket measured at about 11amps on a good day: Power failures were daily and multiple in nature but still my girls grew. The T5's handily got around the low electric concerns- this lighting wasn't going to pop the power and risk my main grow.
