Thought I would post what my dragon fruit plants look like now. About 8-9 months since I posted pictures here last time.   Here we go :)          

This is how they look 24 days older than last update. Whats normal grow time from seed to fruit?

Thanks for your input, I'm surely going to increase the light on duration :) From what I know Filius Blue and Black Cuban is not the same, just like the name the Filius Blue seem to produce more blueish peppers. Both of the plants have black looking leaves.

Thought I would post my progress so there is more information for people interested in LED lights. Personally I'm really satisfied from what my low wattage light can do :) This plant I was only suppose to overwinter, to my surprise it's starting to produce peppers even though only half of the...

I sure will consider it. Will do some searching online for people doing comparison grows with different hour settings, if I can find that though.

You're probably right about that. All the supermarkets I've been to in China they label the vegetable as "Shanghai Vegetable". Didn't know there was a lot of difference between bok choy varieties.

When using the lucas formula I should get enough Calcium from the Micro but then again the formula wasn't made specifically for pepper plants so maybe they require more Calcium. Here were I live the water is in between hard and soft, pH is about 7.2. I sure would like to run 18h of light but I...

Yeah I guess that's real rough on the plants, I wouldn't feel too good myself being out in that weather! Your indoor plant has become huge since last update you posted, looks very healthy too. Nice pepper plant in the background too hehe

How are your mango trees doing now?

Thanks for your input, any help appreciated :) 4.8 I know for sure is Asparagus Lettuce, I've used this so many times for cooking. You peal off the outer heavy texture skin and used the insides as vegetable, leaves can also be eaten but a little bitter.

I'm impressed about how many you managed to name. That sure helps a lot, thanks for spending time figuring some of them out for me!

Tried to get a Chinese person to translate it but she wasn't able too. Said the names were not written clearly on the packages. I'm not expecting to identify all but more is better so I can learn what they are and how to grow them the best way. These are the ones I know what are: Row 1: Done...

Thought I would post a few pictures of what my dragon fruit seedlings look like if anybody is curious. They are about 1 month and a week old. Do you guys suggest I should pot them up? I have no idea how sturdy those stems and roots are so a bit afraid of touching them, was thinking I would let...

Very nice growth, been checking in a couple of times to see if you updated but wasn't anything before now hehe My plant don't have any signs of new leaves coming just yet. Good thing is that the stem is still very healthy and green, no more browning!

Ideas are very welcome and not having a lens on the green is logical, good think they are not permanent. I can take the lens off easily and do changes whenever I would like to. I'm not sure if I understood you about the blues being too clustered? You would space the blue differently on the...

That must be so annoying, was expecting that to stay on and ripen up! Sure can imagine 40c would kill the plant in the long run.

It sure gets a lot thicker at the bottom, strange if it was grafted that low indeed. I dunno what to make of it hehe

I just noticed the bottom of the stem look strange, is it a graft? Or planted on rootstock? No sings of new growth but wouldn't expect it. Think maybe in a months time it should be doing something.

You are definitely right, the cooling would be more efficient if I had some kind of panel on the back. I have been through that though but don't have the materials to make it now, could always change it in the future. When running the panels for hours it's still very cool to the touch, not hot...

The soil was watered just before taking picture, normally keep the mango on the dry side at least now during the colder days. I have moved the mango tree away from it previous location, now it's in my grow tent with light(about 78F in there). The stem is still green so hopefully it will shoot...
