Strain: Four (4) blosser strains off ebay (two 10-12", one 12-15", one 15-18": Sep. pot=3 small Hof/Was
Lighting: two fluorescents...40 watts?
Grow Media/Soil Mix: Kellogg's Palm and Cactus potting soil
Fertilizer: Dr. Earth's Organic #7
Temperature Range: Unsure; must get thermostat; lights approx. two feet above plants
Humidity: Taller plants under 5gal.water jug (light blue tinted); second pot under 2 liter coke bottle
Started From: Seed or Clone Clone, guessing?
Start Date: Arrived Sept 10th, potted four days later; Humidity dome on fifth day; smaller plants 9/15

Other Details/Images: Images not possible at time. Three of four tall plants lost all leaves, fourth has 3 smaller, one larger leaf remaining (all four stalks planted/supported with thread, close together, in 5 gal. plastic pot. Reason waited so long upon arrival was mistakenly thinking other 3 at post office (all four were shipped together, thought was one plant!). INITIAL MISTAKE; left them near window (curtain down) for 45 mins while shopping for soil, fertilizer, pots, etc.  Returned to find droopy plants. Sprayed leaves for approx. four days, edges of leaves blackened, later plucked once died, or just fell off, except those remaining mentioned. Second 5 gal. pot with smaller Hofmann & Wassons (first pot is Blosser strains) lighter green in color than Blossers, healthy looking, except a few tips blackened, guessing due to touching edge of Coke bottle (2liter plastic). Pulled off wet ones (black tips), stopped short of pulling or tearing off dry black tips, one or two leaves, BECAUSE LOOKING FOR ADVICE ON THAT, AS WELL AS THIS; IS THE BLUE TINT OF THE 5 GAL. H20 JUG ALLOWING FOR ENOUGH LIGHT? Humidity wise, it does display droplets (just not at highest third or quarter of jug), taped plastice bag (INITIALLY USED TO WRAP AROUND CHICKEN WIRE FOR HUMIDITY TENT ON FIRST POT, BUT REPLACED WITH WATER JUG, due to opaque nature of bag) around bottom of jug, onto pot edges, as the sawed off jug sits atop the pot, not fitting within the pot, or covering the outside of the pot. It sits pretty flush, but I have the plastic skirt to make sure no evaporation occurs. IF THE LIGHT BLUE IS NOT A PROBLEM, light filtering in-wise, I will get a second jug, for the healthier little/shorty plants (cpl few inches tall), as the tips, as mentioned, at least a few, of the leaves, were touching the coke bottle already, and had blackened. THANK YOU!
