I love it! They look like they are all in the middle of dancing and swaying

Yes, but they are too thin. When I planted them all at once I would give them 30 ml of IONIC Grow nutes to start. After that, 42 ml. Recommended is 50 ml for 2-1/2 gallons of water. They aren't due until tomorrow.
Added 46 ml IONIC Grow.

I hope the lighting is adequate. It's only a 10w light strip. I increased the nutes to 46 ml yesterday. That is only 4 ml below max recommendations. These pop out quick enough. We shall see about the nutes in the next few days.  |

These are way too small for two weeks.

Do you have a stronger light or another 10W to put up?

I have other lights. How to hang them is the question. This ticks me off.

Don't let it get to you mike. You will figure it out and then they will grow like wild flowers. |

Well, here is my temporary fix. I need to find a better solution for the duration.  |

Looks like you're making it work! I'm sure the plants appreciate it.

Yes, well going from 10 watts to 300 watts should help.

They are reaching for the light.

Well, here is my temporary fix. I need to find a better solution for the duration. Do you plan to try another light, or another way of hanging this one? I wonder if you considered the AG 45w grow panel light? I loaned mine out last winter and get it back tonight at a club dinner meeting. (The first one we've attended this year! It will be nice to see and visit with friends.) |

Yes, I will hang it differently. I don't want to put another hook up. We'll see.

These are doing a bit better over all. I'm not happy with last weeks Asian Rosie pod. Only one seed has germinated and isn't continuing to grow, so I added a couple more seeds to the pod. I also added two new pods today.  |

I thinned the first two weeks down to one plant each. Then I ate their siblings. The Black Summer (green) are tastier than the Asian Rosie (red). However, I expected the red to be more bitter than they are. They have a completely different taste than I thought. I think it will be an interesting mix in salads.  |

They are looking good now, mike. The difference in taste is interesting. |

You'll have to describe the taste when they are mature for us.
