Random thoughts about this grow:

  • While the current light array is far from perfect it's serving the purpose: the KC36 is growing short and bushy. If it's any indication of what the Oasis plants will look like (it is 9 days older than the Oasis plants) I'm laughing!
  • The LED grow discussion has gotten my attention. Less power consumption, energy savings, less of a chance of the Landlord becoming suspicious, cooler cabinet temperatures, savings on AC, etc. The Cree Xlamp kit has my attention, it (or perhaps two of them) might be the perfect solution for my 'stealth cabinet grow' setup...I'm waiting for them to reply to my shipping quote request.


CFL's have served me well so far (okay, well enough ), but the heat buildup from the multiple ballasts can't be good for the plants, and quite frankly the heat buildup makes me nervous...I might be a bit paranoid but I don't want to start a fire!
