No pets, no leaf drop, new growth, flowering and fruiting continues...got some herbs going too..need to start some basil. Heat mats only on standby not used. Lower root lamps come on 1 hour early on morning wake up before upper LED's. Currently on 8 day watering/fertilizer/total spray/wash down with kelp/insecticidal soap schedule, except for a few mini pots.

Good work there. I see what you mean. Warm the roots up with the bulbs before the lights come on for tree growth. Great idea. Love the yard pics too. Those Asters are very nice. Thank you for sharing although I wonder how good that area looked for summer)

Beautiful and really efficient looking setup! Really yellow looking figs too, they look like they may ripen. I also love seeing those kinds of daisies around this time of year. Alot of yards have them in full bloom right now!

Btw what are the root lamps for? How do you use them? My trees new growth that started outside have dried up and fallen indoors. It’s either from me not watering for fear of rot, lack of a grow light, or the cooler temps. So maybe a root lamp may help me out this winter

Those daisies are asters also known as a montauk Rose. The lower lights are florescent and give off heat, they heat the rootstock and help start the process of soil drying, and keeping the soil close to room temperature. My readings say I am usually within 2 degress of 72 to 74 air temp. they are timed to come on one hour before before the upper cool LED lights come on. Although I'm about to construct a Steve Bucket Light or two....I have 3 babies that are really meant to go outside permanently

Bklyn,

What trees are in those pots just above your last post? The two in front of that huge coleus. Nice

The tree to the right of the Coleus is a Hemlock, the tree in front is a Columnar apple, a pinkish rose is inside the gate
