Re: Custom closet/cabinet grow from seed

Here are my latest updates. I did a good watering a couple days ago with 1/2 strength nutes (fish ferts). Since being in the new containers, getting better water, etc, they have been growing quickly. One was all up in the light over night. The lights are generally about 3-4" away from the plants on average. The tallest plan is a little over 10" now, the shortest is around 7" though much bushier.

I saw initial signs and had preferable conditions for spider mites. I haven't seen any signs that there is a significant infestation (though I guess you could argue that any would be signficant since they can quickly take over. I have lowered the temperature, increased the humitidity. And for several days did foliar misting (plain water only) to keep the plants themselves damp. I have not seen any signs of any spiders and have been regularly sampling with a microscope to see if that changes. I have some anti-mite stuff on hand in case I need to use it, though I would of course prefer to avoid that.

Finally here are a few pictures. I suck at photography and the light is not realistic in these photos making them look much yellower and pale then they are. The are a fairly dark shade of green in actuality. The water you see on some of the leaves is from one of my water mistings.
