c'mon girls!! - december 17 2009

comin' along, you can see that i've moved them from the last group pic, i'll randomly move them about, usually to assist with watering, sometimes i'll rotate them so certain parts of the plant get a bit more light...it'd be kind of cool to have a very slow moving turntable that the plant pot can sit on, rotate the plant at a 1 revolution per hour or something...of course this wouldn't work in a tight space like mine, the xj13 is getting lanky and i'm certain we'd see branch snappage lol

what are those little jars on the floor of the grow room?

these jars are an attempt to create co2, and as we all know from gradeschool, plants breathe co2! what we're doing is mixing a small amount of yeast, with a bit of sugar, add a few tablespoons of warm water, give it a little shake and wait, if you come back a couple hours later you'll notice something happening in the jars! frothing and foaming up we can see a reaction taking place, one byproduct of the reaction (yeast eating sugar) is co2!

i really have no idea if this paltry amount of co2 is enough to help, and it sure does begin to stink after awhile, haha, but we'll give it a go and see =) this is a learning experience for me after all
