Krakatoa my name is Bill I live in New Jersey and currently have 4 plants growing under artifical light (Compact flouresent) in a terrarium which is bottom watered by the tray method. I bought a 2 bulb T8 shop lamp and ordered 6 Vita-Lite grow bulbs. I have the timer set to 12 hours on 12 off but when the bulbs arrive I will slowly modify the photoperiod to one closer to our days in Jersey. I have Peter D'amato's book " The Savage Garden" and am in the process of reading/re-reading and taking notes. So far the plant appear healthy but I overfed my ping a small grass hopper and burnt the leaves. Plus a few of the little buggers deceided to breakfast on it. I took Sundewman's advice and bought Beta Bits and am hand feeding slurry slowly to encourage health. I will read and take notes on the valuable information you posted and want to say Thanks for answering a newbie. Everyone here has taken the time to answer the repetative and sometimes painful questions I pose. I will definatly mind my growing zone and try to stay within Natures parameters so nothing's wasted. Thank you again for your reply I will follow your lead. Bill George

Thank you all for the wonderful discussion I too thought that analyzing the internal gases would be intresting. The only exprience I have with gas testing is the DRAGER unit from Germany. This was used for explosives/co2 before entering an enclosed space. I'm sure a more accurate way is possible to quantify and am sorry for the ignorance.

How do you navigate between the plants without to much compaction of the soil?

Ive found that for Mice baiting the trap with cotton balls saturated with peanut butter works for the Dumb ones. They try to get the PB off but it gets stuck in their teeth before they can eat it all . Mind this was for mice not rats. I'll ask my neighbor who owns a pest service. The enclosure with netting sounds like the easiest/fastest though. Best of luck

I love the use of the decorative planter this would be excellent in NJ as my backyard is small and only has sun in the afternoon. Your plants are beautiful and appear to be very happy. best of luck

Would Hackle pliers for flytying work? They're small adjustable and have a good grip. I am only offering a suggestion and appologize for ignorance.

Your growing setup is wonderfully clean. I am just beginning to grow cp's and wondered where I can purchase the racking system? What lights do you use so far I have only a small terarium with 4 cp's and would like to setup an efficent system at low to moderate cost. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appriciated.
