inTank Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 inGrow Even though it is somehow 70º in November the time came to bring in the plants that are to be saved. This year I'm trying to save more and ran out of space in the showroom due to the increase of aquariums. So we converted the 2nd bathroom into a greenhouse. Original Radion, and two LEDs that came with the Fluval M40 and M60. Probably will add a Kessil A360 as well. This should keep them for the winter and may even cause them to continue to grow. lighting: ecotech radion XR30 gen 1 kessil A360WE fluval M24 24" marine & reef led fluval Nano marine & reef led hardware: kessil spectral controller 2 - manual timers powerstrip zip ties & squares cable staples dyson V6 watering can - for now livestock: 2 - jane cowl hibiscus 2 - palm thingies 1 - lime tree 0 - flushed hookers Link to comment

GTi Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 What crap? I seems like the poor guy gets all the crap jobs. Maybe that's his job description ? Link to comment
inTank Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Sure is, he's only 19. He could be digging a ditch or humping shingles up a roof all day. Instead he gets to spend it in a climate controlled building shipping, packing, and cleaning all while enjoying a very flexible schedule with good pay and Swedish fish as benefits. Link to comment
cuber14 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 You need geckos and anoles running up and down the walls.....and on a completely separate subject the DEA has survailance on a potential "farm" in your area....look for cars with plain rims and dark windows. Link to comment

Mirya Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Bump. How's this lookin'. Especially now that real winter has come to Wisconsin. Link to comment
inTank Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Bump. How's this lookin'. Especially now that real winter has come to Wisconsin. Looking alright. The lime tree went into a healthy bloom again so hopefully it will start to produce in spring and be ready by early summer. The Hibiscus have lost a lot of leaves. Seems the root ball is really tight and the pots I have them in too small, so water isn't retained. Going to start watering them more than once a week. Palms are growing and look great. I'll try and get some new pics up soon Link to comment
pgrVII Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hey stevie, I've had good luck with watering my hibiscus indoors on a mistking water system,gets sprayed 3 times a day for 5 mins each time. I stopped the spraying schedule 2 weeks ago and hand watered and lost alot of leaves and blooms,now that it's back on the schedule it's rebounding fast. Link to comment
inTank Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 So spray on the leaves? Needs the humidity eh Hey stevie, I've had good luck with watering my hibiscus indoors on a mistking water system,gets sprayed 3 times a day for 5 mins each time.

pgrVII Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So spray on the leaves? Needs the humidity ehYea they like some of that. Especially how dry it is right now in the house,here's a video of my chameleon enclosure with the mist king spray system running,you can see how good the plants were doing. Link to comment
inTank Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Prob got some mister attachements for the drip irrigation system at home. May rig that up or just bring in my pump mister and do it manually/make it shipping Jeff's new job The hibiscus to the left looks a lot worse. I can already see more frequent watering helping the one to the left Link to comment
