Time for an update.
Things are progressing nicely and though I was intent on keeping pot size at 1 gallon, these Maui Sunshines are asking to be uppoted.
Beautiful plants, thanks again @Sebring !
Next, are the Purple Hearts and baby Loco Motas.
These may be the one galloners.
I could look at those Purple Hearts all day. When they’re a little bigger, I’ll make them my desktop background.
Here is the light setup for the time being for the Purps
(6) 21 watt screw in full spectrum leds
They each have (7) 3 watt bulbs
(2) blue 450-460nm
(2) red 620- 630nm, 650-660nm
(1) white 600-6500k
(1) UVA 380-400nm
(1) IR 730-740nm
I have grown to flower with these bulbs but I will probably flower these withf these:
My recycled TLO planting mix is proving to be the best yet.
Since several pots were outdoors last year I baked these on a utility room wood stove for 10 hrs in 5 gal stainless steel pots with tight fitting lids.
Once cool I added only a tenth of the Rev’s recommended ferts as I am going to supplement the watering schedule with Burpee’s Organic Water Soluble fert.
I like the lower N reading.
Added a 3rd by volume small particled perlite, the original mix was too heavy.
Edit
Here’s a chart of numbers I got from my lux reader of some bulbs I have
