Thanks Jenna, time flies when you're busy. People were asking about you in your log. But I guess you are aware of it. Some people like conversation.

Last night I went to hardware store for supplies. It's called Menards. Should you have one nearby, they have "vanity" lights that hold 3-4-5-7 bulbs and one of those was just 7 bucks. It might have been 4 bucks.

I picked up 2 more Y adapters and now have the supplies to start a new batch of seeds. The only thing that needs to be done is to remove one of my ready Widows for the 5th set of lights. I found a better source for electric wires with plugs. They have extension cords for 99 cents.

Also noticed they have started stocking garden supplies. Seed Starters range from a 72 site kit for 3.99 to a 36 site kit for 2.29. They've got a good assortment too. You can get the kit with peat pellets and rockwool, or just the plastic trays with clear plastic cover. Self watering trays? They got 'em.

They have these bricks of compressed soil or peat. It's some kind of growing medium that expands to light 5 quarts. And I saw something new. It's called a "water bird". It looks like a clear sausage. It is a fat tube of pre-soaked polymer and says it will provide water for 30 days. Not sure if you can recharge it or not.

For 2.99 it's something to think about instead of carrying 100's of gallons of water throughout the summer. For a 4 month grow, you might get away with 4 of those things but sinking a new one in the ground sounds challenging. Can always add a new 30 day supply of water when you repot a plant.

Rooting gel is also available.

This thread is pretty much a wrap. I'll post the next strain I start. Thanks for reading and helping me for several years to get this thing on tap. Yahooka is an old school internet site with loads of friendlies, a true classic.
