Default Re: Basjoo Year Three

Today is payday, so I'm going to be stopping off at the hardware store to get some more shop lights and some high-intensity (5000K+ light-temp) bulbs.

I'm happy to say that even with what I think is inadequate lighting, my nanners are all maintaining and I've only lost one leaf off the big P-stem (mostly I think from the damage of going through doorways, not lack of water).

I think once I rig up an additional 8-footer, or 2 4-foot shop lights, I will have enough light intensity and spectrum to actually get a bit of growth off of some of these guys over the winter. (fingers crossed)

Then I can throw these back in the ground come spring and Tim and I can have a race!
