Re: New City Grower

I don't even know. My lady brought over a plastic shopping bag full of medium that her mother uses to grow tomatoes & peppers in. The NYC Compost is finished. I figure it's a safer bet right now than the SCIENTIFIC SOILS.

Those long hair looking thing's,look like coco husk.There is no fertilizer in coco.I am just curious of what it is.We'll find out soon enough how it work's,I guess.

Re: New City Grower

I am glad you were able to get everything installed to your liking.It would be cool if you had another bean sprouted for a side by side with one cfl and one led per seedling.

Oo err

That was a mighty fine piece of skilled transplanting there Reg. Excellent close ups. I think you nailed it this time. The coco (if it is) is a great medium to work with, she will thank you for it. As mentioned there are no nutes in it so something to think about later. Great light position just mind she doesn't wilt from the heat.

It's soil that you win as part of the prize package with POTM. Mind you I didn't win, LA donated it to me this past august.

Re: New City Grower

keep in mind I was using flouro tubes
t-8's to boot
only 25 watts each tube

All Greenies,
What is the difference between a T5 and a T8? What about between a flour. and a T5? I know I can find the written explanation, but I was hoping for a more hands on description. Thanks!

As far as I know,
Coco mix is coconut husk's all ground up.

Re: New City Grower

The T# designates the tube diameter in 8ths of an inch so a T5 is 5/8" a T8 is 8/8" or 1"

Hope this helps

Re: New City Grower

Do you know if a T8 bulb will fit in a T5 ballast? Is there much difference between the light coverage?

Re: New City Grower

Hi PinkyG

The smaller T5's are more energy efficient. Check out tube lumen ratings when comparing. Alas T5 and T8 are incompatible with each others fittings.

Re: New City Grower

Good morning everyone. I woke up in nightmarish sweat thinking I was out of Honey Haze beans without one surviving plant. My lady was like; "Why are you getting up so early, it's Saturday". I told her I had to save the Honey Haze!

And yes Mr. Suavay, Those were definitely roots on the surface.

I am so glad you replanted. Even I noticed that one and I was getting scared for her. Yea!
So here's a quick pictorial of what transpired this morning...
