oops, in a sober picture-taking daze, i just accidentally destroyed the PC fan i was using for ventilation by dropping a light fixture (with a heavy metal lamp shade, which you can see in the first picture) onto the fan while it was spinning. i really liked that fan, luckilly it only cost $4. i think i`ll have to get another one. Arctic Cooling 3 TC was the model name. SG, if you`re reading this, this was the fan that i was showing you
the fan is visible in the first pic taken 5/21/2010, but not in the second pic taken 5/25/2010
So, PICTURE UPDATE
comparing the 1st and 2nd pics, you can kind of see what 4 days of growth looks like at this stage of this grow operation with 13 + 23 + 23 + 26 W of CFL lights. especially with the seedlings on the bottom of the pictures
the sad-looking plant in the bottom right was the 8 mile high. it was actually a female. i`d seriously damaged its roots during the hasty(and probably unecessary) transplant from the juice carton to the glass container. i thought it looked like it was about to die on me (first pic). but apparently its starting to make a recovery
i`ve started experimenting with topping the catnip (partly to keep the cat supplied, and partly as a means for my own experimentation). the catnip plant responds very well with growth of new leaf-bud sites
and a few minutes after making this post, i took it to the next level and just took a cutting from the catnip as practicing for cloning
