Howdy do folks, hope alls growing well on yourside..
Let's get straight to it! We have life above ground
Here is the Alcapulco gold (Venus)
And here is the Northern light (Aurora)
So the next step is sticking them under the @Mars Hydro FC-E4800
But, with me being lazy, I wanted a way to have the seedlings at eye level and be able to adjust the height when needed, so I didn't have to bend down.
so, after a bong or 3, I came up with this idea
Camera tripod, adjustable seedling table
I took the mounting bracket off the bottom of the camera, drilled some screw holes in it and mounted it to a bit of scrap flooring I had lying about.
And Hey presto! We have an adjustable table
It's got a handle you can wind the post up and down with and the legs aretelyskopik teliscopic tellyscop adjustable..
so, I've dialled them in at 20inches, 5450 lux. I will increase the lux a little bit every other day, until I get to around 7000 for the first week.
I will keep an eye out for stretchyness. I've got the heat mat set so It comes on when the lights go out, as I want to keep them between 22°C and 24°C.
The JH still hasn't popped, so I'm going to soak another 2 and see what happens..So that's it for tonight.
As always, i thank you all for your support.. really appreciate it..
Catch you on your side

Im sure you wont be dropping these babies.

Those pictures are on fleek brah!
And your matching pots, drip trays and temperature gauge thingy made my heart sing. Not a huge fan of your single block black niko pen lettering on the pots, but we can work on that. I’d recommend a wooden tongue depressor myself but it’s not about me even tho I make everything about me.

Thanks mate, means a lot.. this sour dieselNice write up alot of thought into it after some
is amazing for creativity. My mind has never stopped thinking. It's a real light day weed, you can function on it great. You have real clear thoughts. The missus just seen the tripod 
I've had to buy her a new one. 
Oh and you got rid of the random used wet wipe that was left carelessly in front of them and the FILTH in the corners of the tray too! I was going to mention it but then I realised you now have the power to ban me…I've changed the last picture for you mate. Just need your approval on it. I've even cleaned up the muck in the corners of the tray. I hope it's satisfactory
Much much better.
We can work on your hand writing going forward.
I am BIG smiling btw.
Congrats on the babies, Squiggle!
Love the use of the tripod with the telejustable legs!

Howdy do folks, hope alls growing well with you lot.
Just a brief update and a bit of a photo dump.
I soaked another JH seed last night and it's cracked already, so that other one must have been a dud.
I've raised the table, so the plants are receiving 6200 lux now. All seems well.. here is the Alcapulco gold
And here is the Northern light
I've also been practicing my handwriting to keep @Trala happy. Is this any better, or do I need to try harder?
The Alcapulco gold was getting a bit of a stretch on, but I've upped the lux and added a bit more soil, since I took this photo.
And last but not least, the Mars Hydro FC-E4800
Thanks for stopping by everyone. I really appreciate the support..
I hope you all have a nice weekend. Take care
