Re: SolarStorm 880 - (2x Pineapple Chunk) (2x Money Maker)

Hi SS880...I just finished reading your journal, nice details....I also grew a Pineapple Chunk from Barney's...it also started out weakly, but survived and did ok. I kept a gentle fan blowing on her, and that bulked up the stem. I also added a little top dressing to support the plant more. At the time, I thought I hadn't planted it deeply enough, but given it has also happened to you....hmmm, very interesting.
I have to agree with RKY about the light leakage. I am one of the people he referred to as getting whacked by it in my first grow. His advice is excellent to stay in the grow room for quite a while to examine for light leakage...you will be surprised as how bright the smallest light source can be.
And green light is NOT safe...I know SME has also mentioned that too. I recommend covering all small LED lights commonly found in heaters, humidifiers, extension cords, etc. I use thin cardboard and duct tape... and again, sit in the dark room and observe.
Continued best of luck!
