(click for high resolution)Growing these plants is really exciting, each one is unique, and they are all pretty happy! Today I watered them with a mild dose of Earth Juice: Grow (NPK 2-1-1), Earth Juice: Microblast (micronutrients), and seaweed extract (good growth hormones etc), I will just water them for probably two weeks or a month, then feed again, I am keeping track of what I feed them and when to find out how to get the fastest growth.

(click for high resolution)I filled the cabinet I built with 25 pots, each with a living tea plant, and the tray of 71 lettuces, it's a tight fit. The cabinet is 3ft by 3ft, and with about 1000-1300 lumens per square foot (about 1/5th the brightness from the sun) It is just not bright enough to grow bigger plants. So I will make a bigger cabinet with a brighter light. I haven't come up with the dimensions I will use for the cabinet, but I have a 400w metal halide lamp I will probably use.
