Not sure what you mean with this comment. I put them under no light 6 hours a day. The theory was in very short. but what I meant was if you have a light that produces growth and it remains over the top of the plant. The plant shouldn't look of more light it should just grow until it grows outside the light zone. When the lights are off the babies should sleep not stretch searching for light. the only times I have experienced a plant stretching is when it A. was on a 24-0 light cycle and B. When the top of the plant grew outside of the light source or too close (which may have been the case here) and it continued to grow and stretch searching for light. Canna is right though either way it doesn't matter cause they r being moved was just sharing my experiences with canna in hopes to give a different perspective of it.

I start at 18/6 also KF but I was under the assumption that during lights out our plants use the energy stored from lights on and the leafs are searching for more energy from light as it depletes what's been stored. Thus the plant grows in darkness. I know in my personal experience I recognize my plants growth in the morning at lights on not in the evening when I get home from work.Not sure what you mean with this comment.

Very cool!
All caught up now after the inevitable delay after enjoying one of you Peanut Butter Cups that Reg missed! Tremendous that your next adventure is under way with home produced beans!!
Excellent PeeJay! I have 4 germed beans (testing the super thrive on some that wouldn't pop) that I wasn't sure what to do with. I had to throw them all in the same solo cup cuz I was out of soil. These would be a great way to try out the different lighting and see if I get shorter seedlings.I made a couple of pictures.
The lights are closer than that first picture makes them look. Anyway, with Canna's wealth of seeds she can toss one in a cup of dirt and try it whenever she wants and just discard the unwanted child after she sees what it does. Beats the heck out of experimenting with a ten dollar bean!
Well, I got up late....it's Thurweed day now. LOL Have a great one.Hey Canna Man Happy Weednsday man
Good point AJ, just one more reason for the spiral CFL's.Hi Canna! If it is a regular desk lamp fluorescent tube it might not be giving off any light of the correct wavelength for your plants?

I lifted one of the solo cups during the moving and it accidentally hit the lip of the one next to it. Knocked over the poor thing and it completely fell out of the cup. I did my best to put it back in there and keep it straight up, but I think that delicate root may have been damaged. It's starting to droop badly. I have a wire rigged up to keep it upright and will hope for the best. I did a little fine mist onto the leaves too, hoping it helps.
Sorry!
