Ah. ok. Good to know. I finished updating the log with all the posts from the other forum. Apparently you guys have already been checking it out (132 views). Some of the formatting is a bit off and I'll fix it in time, but the info is still good. Thanks for the help here guys, hope you end up...

5/29/12 SWIMS plants are still doing ok, and the indoor crop is starting pick up in growth. It has been three days since SWIM had to prune the dead leaves from these plants and they are responding extremely well. SWIM theorizes they are doing better because the plants can now focus their...

5/26/12 The indoor plants are seeming to spring back after the insecticidal soap incident. They sucked up the water SWIM added only a day ago, today the soil was bone dry. SWIM guesses they needed quite a bit of water to help regenerate themselves. Today SWIM had to prune some of the dead...

5/24/12 Last night SWIM began to worry his poppies are undersized for their age. It has been two months. SWIM remembers reading that it can take up to four months for varieties to mature though. Also, some of the plants seem to have stalled in growth. SWIM theorizes this could be due to...

5/23/12 If any of you have been keeping track, SWIMS poppies have had a few issues. The insecticidal soap purchased for them made them extremely unhappy. Some of the leaves on various plants are stained and some are starting to shrivel up and die. SWIM found an account of this happening to...

5/16/12 Today hasn't been a great day for the lovely Somniferum. The dying indoor one pictured some days ago finally died for good. The insecticidal soap made it unhappy and it promptly died. Two others that had been moved indoors stopped growing. They had gone dormant and refused any more...

5/14/12 SWIM got bored earlier and started tinkering with another two shop lights and combined them into another single overcharged fixture. Now SWIMS indoor setup (three 4 foot fixtures) should be putting out 36,000 lumens or so. Two of the fixtures have one daylight and one cool bulb and the...

5/14/12 SWIM knows he just updated, but it was too brief. It was a small preview of this update. Like previously stated, most of the plants are doing well. There is one plant however that decided it does not like small amounts of fertilizer or insecticidal soap. It is an indoor Persian and...

5/13/12 Ok, so as of now the plants are doing good. The outside ones seem to be doing better than the inside plants. The best growing of them all is a Tasmanian(green pot). There is an indoor Persian (black pot)with wider leaves though. It hasn't been quite a month and a half yet. Two plant...

5/6/12 SWIM is a diagnosed case of ADHD, and his multiple grows prove it. After borrowing some real estate in SWIMS parent's backyard SWIM now has four types of grows going. (the land owners don't know about latex) Here is a picture of the newest grow attempt...

5/3/12 So SWIMS plants are doing pretty good. The indoor ones are growing more and more. The outdoor ones are steady. SWIM heard about "overcharging fluros" and proceeded to do so to his indoor lighting. Now each fixture has 2 ballasts (one for each bulb) and instead of each bulb producing...
