I know I know...I keep updating...
![Wink ;-) ;-)](/styles/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
. Anyhow...I snapped a couple pics with the good camera to show you all the updated grow area.
Some housekeeping items... It looks like the pots closest to the heater dry out a bit quicker then the ones furthest away (the heater does not blow directly on the pots). I'll just have to keep an eye on those pots to make sure they don't get under watered.
Also the pots furthest from the heater feel rather cold on the bottom. My guess is cold enough to slow down growth. If you notice the 2 flower pots furthest to the left are a bit slower to grow,
especially the smallest papaya. I'm not sure there is much I can do about this considering it is just about winter time and going to stay cold.
I need a longer extension cable for the heater. Once I have a longer one I can move the heater around to different positions to get the best heat coverage. For now, most plants are growing just fine.
Regardless, when the majority of the plants are 12 inches tall I am switching to 12/12. If there is 1-2 plants that are not quite that tall, then they will just have to be shorter than the rest (I'm talking about this because of the slower growth in the colder pots furthest to the left).
I also plan to buy a backup heater this weekend in case the one I have burns up or stops working (it runs quite a bit...). I'll get that with a new extension cord.
