Setting up your growlights correctly
Steps 1 - 6
Copy write Food for Everyone Foundation

1) The planting medium must be 'sterile', meaning it has never been used for growing things before. Use a mixture of sawdust, peat-moss, perlite, vermiculite, and sand - in any combination you like, but with sand at 25% to 35% by volume. All ingredients are not necessary - even straight sawdust can be used with sand, if necessary, but three ingredients work very well.

2) You can buy inexpensive plastic trays or flats that measure 11' X 20' in size. In many other locations around the world people make their own flats, and we recommend 18' X 18' X 3' deep outside dimensions.
For each 11' X 20' plastic tray, add one ounce or 2 level tablespoons of Pre-Plant Mix and thoroughly mix with the planting medium. Use ½ again as much if you are using 18' X 18' trays. For all fertilizer formulas, look under Fertilizers in the Learn section of the website at www.foodforeveryone.org, or in all of Dr. Mittleider's vegetable gardening books.

3) Using a 1' X 2' board or a ¾' PVC pipe 19'-long, make 6 shallow furrows in the tray. Plant seeds evenly spaced in the furrows, with no more than 600-800 seeds per tray. Cover with 1/8'-1/4' of planting medium.

4) Cover the tray with light-weight burlap or cheesecloth and water gently with plain water. Never use fertilizer on un-sprouted seed! Water often and heavy enough to keep the soil moist, but not soaking wet.

5) Place in a dark location with soil temperatures of 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. A thermostatically-controlled seed germination pad can be important to help maintain this temperature in a cool basement or garage. Warmer temperatures will help your plants sprout more quickly, so if you're in a hurry use a temperature near 80 degrees.

6) At the first signs of plants emerging from the soil, water with the Constant Feed Solution, consisting of 1 ounce Weekly Feed Mix dissolved in 3 gallons of water, then remove the covering, and place the tray under maximum light.
Remember to give your plants full light as soon as you first see any sprouts showing above the soil surface. Any delay at all, and the plants will develop long, skinny, weak stems as they search for that all-important light.
Your plants have started to sprout now what
Make sure you get the plants under light right away
7) A 4'-long twin-tube shop light (cord already attached), with one cool and one warm 40 watt tube, will give a decent spectrum of light. Use two shop lights for each four trays. Keep the lights only about 1' from the plants to maximize the light. Never use a light that is hot. Heat can very easily burn the tender new plants. Light should be applied for 16 hours per day.
A fixture with 6 metal 4'-long shelves can be purchased from Sam's or Wal mart for about $70, and two shop lights hanging above a 4'-long shelf can provide light for 4 10' X 20' plastic trays. So, with just one shelf fixture and 10 shop lights you can fill 20 flats and start 12,000+ plants! But, let's be real. At the first transplanting you need 10 times as many flats, so probably you should stick with starting just 2 flats, and transplanting them into the 20 flats that will fit on the shelves.

8) Water with Constant Feed Solution daily or as needed to maintain soil moisture - but do not over-water. Too much water can drown the plants, and can also lead to Damping-Off disease, which destroys the stem at the soil surface and kills the plant. Use Constant Feed Solution until plants are placed in the garden.

9) Change the plants' positions occasionally, to assure even distribution of light to all plants.

10) Maintain temperatures in the 65-75 degree Fahrenheit range for cool weather plants, and warmer for tomatoes, peppers, etc. The warmer it is, the faster your plants will grow, so to slow them down, lower the temperatures.

11. By the time plants have their second set of true leaves, you should be transplanting into pots, 6-paks, or other flats. Always mark flats, in order to space plants evenly. This assures even distribution of light, air, food, and water to all plants.
To build a marker, obtain a piece of 5/8' or ¾' plywood measuring 11' X 20'. Drill 36 ½' holes in the plywood, with 4 rows of 9 holes. Cut 36 pieces of ½'doweling rod into 2 ½' lengths, and point one end of each piece. Glue doweling rod pieces into holes. Glue a ¼' piece of plywood onto back of original piece. Nail 2 - 2' X 2' pieces of wood 8' long across the back of the marker, about 12' apart. Nail a 14'-long 2' X 2' piece between the two previous pieces, in the center of the marker.

12. Always water both the plants in your flats, and the new destination planting medium before transplanting. If planting into the soil, watering immediately prior to planting may make the beds muddy

Your plants are doing well
Almost time to transplant to the garden
13) Use a 6'-long 'dibble (½' doweling rod with one end pointed), to loosen soil around plant roots. Carefully remove plant from the soil, holding by the leaf only, and place in a hole large and deep enough to accommodate the root ball and soil without crowding. Plant down to the crown or growing tip, but never get soil on the growing tip, which will kill the plant.

14) Using the dibble, assure that soil is in contact with plant roots, but do not pack soil tightly around plant stem and roots, as this will damage the plant. Water immediately, which will settle the soil around the roots.

15) Maintain maximum light, and immediately prune overlapping leaves or transplant into larger pots, to avoid plant stems 'stretching' to seek light. Stretching will produce week, spindly plants that will never be as strong and robust as those which are short and stocky.

16) Before transplanting in the garden, place plants outside for 2-3 days to 'harden-off', or become accustomed to the outside climate. Bring them inside at night if frost threatens, and do not transplant in the garden until it is safe to do so, unless plants are protected with 'mini-greenhouses' or other coverings, and sufficient heat is available to keep them from freezing.

Hi there Steve,
Another great lens. 5*. I have avoided growlights because of my worry about the expense I have used natural lighting only, but have considered mirrored surfaces to make the most of the light I have. Could florescent lights be used? This lens will be added to the featured Growing Techniques Lenses on the All About Growing Food Group. Thanks for joining the group.
Perhaps steps 1-6 could be done using OL and LI tags - they will look and read better for it. Perhaps also you could add an amazon module showing the types of light to buy - I am nto entirely sure.

Keep up the good work,
Danny

Environment/Health early puberty in girls.

The most important news and commentary to read right now. - The Slatest - Slate Magazine: "Girls Hitting Puberty Earlier

More girls are hitting puberty by the age of 7 or 8, according to a new study published in the journal Pediatrics. The study included 1,239 black, white, Hispanic, and Asian girls between the ages of 6 and 8, and it found that 'at 7 years, 10.4 percent of white, 23.4 percent of black and 14.9 percent of Hispanic girls had enough breast development to be considered at the onset of puberty.' Nobody knows why girls are developing earlier, the New York Times says, but ever since a controversial 1997 study found that puberty was more common among 7- and 8-year-olds than previously reported, a number of similar studies have been published on the issue. Some researchers say that obesity is responsible for triggering early puberty, and although the idea remains unproven, others argue that environmental chemicals that simulate estrogen are to blame. Regardless, the trend has scientists concerned. 'It's certainly throwing up a warning flag,' said the study's lead author, Frank Biro. 'I think we need to think about the stuff we're exposing our bodies to and the bodies of our kids. This is a wake-up call, and I think we need to pay attention to it.'

Q and A - Converting Pixels to Color Prints - Question - NYTimes.com

Q and A - Converting Pixels to Color Prints - Question - NYTimes.com: "Converting Pixels to Color Prints
By J. D. BIERSDORFER
Published: June 30, 2010

Q. How can I move a picture that was e-mailed to me over to a photo Web site so that I can order copies?

A. Start by downloading the photo attachment from the e-mail message and saving it to your computer. Depending on your mail program, you may have different ways to do this. Common methods include right-clicking on the image and using the save option, clicking a download button on the message window or dragging the photo onto the desktop.

Once you download the photo, you can then upload it to your preferred photo site and order prints.

Don't let Hanford become America's radioactive waste dump

Don't let Hanford become America's radioactive waste dump: "The Hanford Nuclear Reservation is already one of the most polluted sites on the planet. Farmers in the region regularly report the birth of three-legged chicks and two-headed calves.

But a new proposal from the Department of Energy would lift the 30-year moratorium on shipping radioactive waste to Hanford from other DOE sites. If this moratorium is lifted, Hanford will become the nation's radioactive waste dump.

We have until Friday to speak out. The government is accepting public comment until then on the proposal to lift the moratorium. Speak out today and submit your comment opposing the plan to make Hanford America's radioactive waste dump."

Some use more than one device at a time and consume over 10 hours of electronic content a day."

Study: High heels better than running shoes - Science Fair - USATODAY.com

Study: High heels better than running shoes - Science Fair - USATODAY.com: "Walking in high heels is easier on your knees and ankles than jogging in running shoes, report researchers Monday in the journal PM&R, and bare feet might be best.

The injury, function and rehabilitation study led by D. Casey Kerrigan of JKM Technologies LLC in Charlottesville, VA, a team handed 68 young adult runners, 37 of them women, running shoes and observed their running motions in treadmill and video studies. All of the runners regularly ran at least 15 miles a week.

While the shoes protected the runner's feet well, they put excessive strain on hip, kneee and ankle joints, found the study authors. Knee joint twisting was about 38% higher than running barefoot, for example.

“Remarkably, the effect of running shoes on knee joint torques (twisting) during running that the authors observed here is even greater than the effect that was reported earlier of high-heeled shoes during walking,' Kerrigan says in a statement.

“Reducing joint torques with footwear completely to that of barefoot running, while providing meaningful footwear functions, especially compliance, should be the goal of new footwear designs.”"
