Progress

So I checked the grow tonight, and the peas are doing great. It doesn't seem like the spinach or the lettuce is moving forward. Pea roots are out of the cup, but very small. Maybe lettuce roots are out, and no spinach roots. So, I don't have a larger grower yet. I am working on it, but for right now I need these seedlings to keep going. I gave you a list of things I have purchased earlier, and you may have noticed the woefully undersized light. I am betting this 14w LED isn't putting off enough light to get these seeds going. I have a 90w UFO from Amazon (LED Wholesalers) and my tent should be here by mid to end of this week. I added really weak nutrients a few days ago. I have posted a link to my grow data in the links section.

  1. How do you plan to grow strawberries in this environment? My experience with them is that they take several seasons, and they grow better as they spread along the ground.

    Also, I am interested to see if you end up with any bugs in your controlled environment. I had issues with weeds, bugs, and dogs eating my plants when I tried a traditional garden. Plus, I didn't account for some of my plants not liking so much direct sunlight, or the 2 year drought we had in Texas. My peppers did ok, though.

    Also, more pictures, please.
