This is not the best GLOG in the world, this is just a tribute.

Behold here by I present you my glog!
 
It is kinda ghetto OG-log guys if you frequent the chat chances are you seen these pictures already if not hold your pants.
 
I have planted various peppers and few tomatoes that I will list later on in this topic or you can just read them from the labels on the pictures.
 
So lets begin with the soil, i have two bags of different soil at hand one from last season..
([member=Rawkstah] : Can I use this soil from 3 years ago? -  , [member="Guatemalan Insanity Pepper"] - no that soil has it date expired :mope: " )
Bag numero uno,

very aerated light soil for plants that have problems rooting and some mycelium in it, drains like a mofo and can barely keep any moisture in it
 ​
second one that is potting soil rich will all of that sweet sweet nutritional value

Next i did 50/50 mix and started filling up the seedling trays.

make hole, put seed in, cover up the hole , and repeat.

By the time I finished making these little holes and putting the seeds in  I can feel my lower back muscles ( sup [member=fertilizer] ) because I exercise so much .... khm
[member=Meatward] - I am not fat I am bulking.
There we go all labeled and set

Where we go better take it apart and hook up the power cord to see if it works ...not bad.. it has reflective part you can see it in back... almost.
Made frame out of water pvc pipes , damn this thing is heavy as f**k ... such metal... much heavy ... wow, ok positioned over the seedlings trays.


Damn image limit someone bump it, I typed all this stuff only to find out I can not post it all :snooty:
 
 
Ignore the excess wire that will be cut to required measurement..... sometime in the future. *nods*. You can see the tomatoes stretched to leeeeefttt now tooo the riiight ok ok that was good song once. You can also see the peppers are starting to pop, much more luck than the tomatos had, oh well.
 
Shiny reflective part

ahaha. i know the feeling. i actually count out the images in my head when im updating my glog.
 
lol, how is this a ghetto log?
 
mines more ghetto than this. maby i should update my title. seems legit to me.  save for the lights i guess, but just get some t8 strip lights from a store somewhere. thats all you need for raising tom transplants.
 
i like your 50lb sack of epsom salt! thats cool as hell. i buy epsom in like 5kg sacks... takes over 2 years to get through it all.

Its like 5 stars upgrade from the even more ghetto setup i had for overwintering plants... in my unheated basement where I had to use normal bulbs for sole purpose of heat distribition... but it worked i overwintered few plants.
