2007-01-11 21:15:30 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: I got some lights used for salt water tanks -- coral, gonna give them a try
2007-01-11 21:15:34 [Message] Pat S Dak -> VioletReflections: I had read warm white is on the lower end of the light spectrum and enhaces flower production
2007-01-11 21:15:44 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: so I will have 3 lights per stand for 12 weeks
2007-01-11 21:15:58 [Message] Janis -> VioletReflections: Say on the posting of the person wanting to fertilize mouse ears doesnt it sound like the temp is too cool and that might be why they are growing slowly?  Just wondering here.

2007-01-11 21:16:34 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: 50 at night is likely why they're not growing

2007-01-11 21:18:22 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: yes it it cool for starter plants but I find removing all but center leaves once a month and transplanting every two months grow them stronger faster

2007-01-11 21:21:11 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: Pat, if the outer leaves are smaller than the inner rows, you always need to remove them
2007-01-11 21:21:20 [Message] Janis -> VioletReflections: Oh homework?
2007-01-11 21:21:41 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: yes, as sson as I get the photos re-sized & uploaded to VR & VVV

2007-01-11 21:22:06 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: Millie -- you said leaves grow in 3's, right?
2007-01-11 21:22:07 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: I no why are they so big
2007-01-11 21:22:14 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: how can I fix it
2007-01-11 21:22:26 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: yes Jana
2007-01-11 21:22:28 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: and that we should take the plant back to 3 good rows, right?
2007-01-11 21:22:42 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: 2 or 3 as needed
2007-01-11 21:22:57 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: does that mean we will only have 9 leaves on the plant?  (3 rows X 3 leaves per row)
2007-01-11 21:23:07 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: yes
2007-01-11 21:23:22 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: ok, just double checking, seemed like too few leaves
2007-01-11 21:23:33 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: but see, I DID listen!  :D
2007-01-11 21:24:17 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: you will see that on all the pictures I sent I stood over the violet plant and shot the picture That way you can see the leaves that need to be removed
2007-01-11 21:24:43 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: ah, ok!  I noticed there were lots more than 9 leaves on them
2007-01-11 21:24:59 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: I've seen the photos, but not re-sized them yet
2007-01-11 21:25:10 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: yes but I start my grow to show plants in July
2007-01-11 21:25:26 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: so these are way ahead of us?
2007-01-11 21:25:56 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: My shows are May and I repot take down and do all that in June and July and start all over for the next year
2007-01-11 21:26:15 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: ok
2007-01-11 21:26:33 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: yes I can do some to keep up with you as I have them they will be next years show plants
2007-01-11 21:26:44 [Message] Pat S Dak -> VioletReflections: take down meaning removing all but on row?
2007-01-11 21:27:55 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: it depends Pat I remove all leaves that need to be removed to have a perfect plant all plants do not go back to 2 or 3 rows some may go back to 5 rows
2007-01-11 21:29:12 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: If I leaves a plant with 5 rows it has perfect leaves on all five rows
2007-01-11 21:29:49 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: I can all most guarentee a row will be removed before next year show
2007-01-11 21:30:26 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: but I will gain 2 or 3 more rows that is how to get the large ones
2007-01-11 21:32:01 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: last year I had a 19 inch Buckeye Ohio friendship and burnt it 3 weeks before show you will see it in my pictures that will be posted it is only 3 rows now
2007-01-11 21:32:22 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: how'd you burn it?
2007-01-11 21:32:54 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: I lost most of the leaves on it it is a heavy pink variegated so be careful with light on them
2007-01-11 21:33:21 [Message] Jana in Indiana -> VioletReflections: lights too close or on too long or both?
2007-01-11 21:33:43 [Message] Millie/Ca -> VioletReflections: I increast lights 12 weeks before show and it was to much for that one
