The Prepara Powerplant mini; Week4

December 22, 2008

Powerplant Mini: You can see a few new plants as well as a few dead ones So the biggest plant died the other day, but Iâ€™m not too worried. Two or three of the basil have died as well but new basil and new peppers have sprung up in their place. They probably arenâ€™t getting enough light in the windowsill, with these cold Canadian winter days not offering more than a couple hours of decent sunlight.

If I had started this in June then I feel the plants would be doing much, much better but I like hot peppers year-round and couldnâ€™t be bothered to keep the Powerplant sitting around doing nothing for months.

I removed the humidity domes the other day, some plants looked like they were kept too soggy and two started to turn black. Now that I have taken them off the peppers are starting to get going pretty well. I would like to see what this little beast could do when I set it up with a proper grow light. It would be really cool if I could find an LED strip just the right size to cover the system with red and blue light.

Well I will be back mid-week with an update while I have some cider.

Happy Holidays All!
Matt
