Weather got nice for a day then rain and more of it so, inside work.
Got the ramp done and attached and wrapped with chicken wire, all stuff I had laying around.
Not pretty but it functions well enough. They can't get out and the alley cat "Boots"
can't get in, although he tries. Climbing the back of the fence, hopping on the roof and
scours each corner to find a weakness.

Not to happy with the chicken wire and prob will re-do with something else and also might move it over some so it's straight out from the window.
Did not want to move the big rock but wifey says not to, just leave it where it is. She's always right.
Cats love it but Shady not feeling well. I think it's a hairball problem,
He's hiding but moving around, drinking but not eating except for yesterday and today a lil bit so far.

Plants doing great once I started to feed them!
Let's see, they are 4 wks - 4 days old. Was thinking of flipping on the 5th wk, trying to push it a little.
Hope to harvest by 1st wk in July avoid the brunt of the heat, I hope.
They really got bushy. Topped 4 in the large pots, not sure I will top the smaller ones.
Temp = 80 +-1 and nightime = 73 +-1
PH = idk didn't measure or adjust this time around
RH = 54.8 gets down to 50 at times
Par = between 450 and 600 (except the plants in the middle 2.9 gal. pots.)
Lux = between 32 and 35
Light = 46% @ 16" (Tried it at 50% but seemed a lil high and leaves told me to turn it down.)
Changed the light time from 18 / 6 to 16 / 8 a couple of days ago.
Sunrise / Sunset still not working.
Air pumps on high.
Put more dirt/compost on top.
Turned off lil fans, running one larger one that occilates better, with better air movement.
I will have to figure out what to do with the smaller plants and attached pots (2.9g).
Maybe move em to the outside? I'm afraid they will get swallowed up by the larger plants.
Might have to pull them out, put them on a pan and hand feed them. ugh!!
I'm using Athena (Core and Grow ) but started at half strength about 600ppm and increased to 850ppm
Full strength is bout 1200ppm, it seemed to me to much but that's what the chart says to do.
I'll ease it up with every feed bucket (2g @ a time) till it gets to full strength, bout 4 gal in each feed tank now.
