Yep....gotta bend over for these little Girls. The 2 foot T5 sidelight seems to be helping, but I have no hard evidence of that. The HPS girls are filling in now too. The CFL sidelights I added must be helping, thanks mama catbuds!
They are indeed paper or peat pots. Cheap, and seemed like a good idea... no problems that I'm aware of with them so far. At this point I'm just trying to get through the whole process with a decent product. There will be lot's of "Tweaking" I'm sure, but right now it's the KISS principal.
My total wattage for the T5 girls is still 372. The HPS girls are about 200 total with the CFL's. It's fun to watch, but I need to learn patience, that's for sure.
Thanks for the kind words Chromophore.
