Mr Squirryl Grows Akorns - All Kinds Of Randomly Named Strains

[Jim Squirryl]

I built a growbox from a catbox

Lined it shiny, bulbed it brightly

And planted some indeterminate beans

Hello Sprout

 

[Light Addict]

Awesomeness indeed
I hope you were able to relocate the former resident to a suitable abode

The former resident must have escaped
The door was faulty when I bought it, hence the $5 pricetag

Squirryl's Log - AKORNS - Update 1.0

Growbox glows golden in 27 hundred Kelvin Cfl light

60 Watts of squirryl'd sunshine,

white balance adjusted this time.

Seed-starting soilmix is peat, perlite and vermiculite in equal measures with some finely ground up wool pellets.

Hello Sprout

They are watered now daily with a weak "Rootfast" solution.

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement

Of the seedlings, I have selected the 3 strongest and the one cutest to continue this grow.

In my struggle against high temps, I had to remove 2 Cfl lamps.

The Cfls are emitting an appropriate spectrum of light to enable robust growth, however, the little one is struggling, so I have invested in a brand new LED lamp.

I can tell by the way she is bending towards the lamp that she is loving the new, full spectrum light

Week something...

The catbox is filling up with foliage.

I have invested heavily in a new ventilation system with integrated blue LED for extra powerful photosynthesis.

I must admit, LED technology has come a long way since the red diodes on the old Texas Instruments calculators.

I am running out of space. I guess that happens with increased photosynthesis from the additional spectrum of LED.

Obviously Mr Teddy must be friends with Mr Squirryl. Subbed.

Hi Mr Teddy

Unfortunately, the plants grew too large, so I had to give most away, dismantle the catbox and buy more bulbs.

My own fault, I guess the increased photosynthesis from the blue LED made them grow too big?

In any case, I have removed the LED fixture, because I do not have room for her to grow any more!

Mr Squirryl

But will you have enough akorns to last you through the long, cold winter?

 

[Teddy Edwards]

Are you hibernating, Mr Squirryl?

 

[Jim Squirryl]

Hi Mr Teddy Thank you for your concern. I should have enough to last me I'm only a Squirryl

I am not hibernating, but I am quite sleepy I had a dream that I owned a UFO LED, but it flew away...
