Very nice, they are thriving. What do you feed them?

Thanks :) I'm trying to keep them happy. To be honest, I fed them once early on when they were seedlings with 1/2 strength of a schultz liquid plant food and some tap water but then from then on, I've just watered them with water from my aquarium. I figured there will be low quantities of nutrients in the water which will minimize any risk of damange from accidental over feeding with regular fertilizers.

Thanks SeeYouJimmy :) They look a bit more vibrant in the photo than in real life. I guess the camera is a bit more saturated.
 
:) I should. I cant wait though until I do a full aquarium cleaning (vaccuming the gravel and cleaning the filters) because then all the 'muck' from the filter and gravel suspended in the water will go to my plants. Maybe a fert for every 3-4 months. That should be full of organic material.
 
That's what I call good use of a kitchen! Awesome progress, and you just gave me the idea to use my mic stands to attach CFLs to so they're portable and adjustable. why didn't I figure that out before? thanks!

Thanks :) I've been trying. I'm usually kind of a paranoid person so I've been spending too much time reading and pampering them . With my luck they will go outside and first day they will get attacked by bugs, squirrels, birds...ghosts... LOL I mean :(

Thank you. I will post more pics in another month. I hope to have a few plants I have upstairs in the little cups downstairs amongst the mix. Got a Fatalii and a couple Bonda Ma Jacques.

:) go grab that mic stand...best thing you'll do. I had the spare speaker stands and I was like "Hmm that would make an awesome light stand! Those were cheap too. $20 for the pair at Wal-Mart.

svc,

If you ever want to share your treasures, I am just 5 hours away in Detroit.
You have some good looking plants there.

I will keep that in mind because I may have planted too much stuff ;)
 
Nice looking plants!! I also feed all my plants aquarium water. It's a good way to turn the water over in my 300 gallon. I usually just stir up the rocks and drain 5 gallons at a time. Plants seem to love it and I know the water doesn't have any chlorine or nitrates which is harmful for your plants.

No chlorine but i'd check again on the water not having nitrates.
