Very beautiful! Very green, I wouldn't doubt that he built it himself, he has a DIY aquarium (I think) for his plants and a wicked CFL reflector. Looks great  |

It'd be the perfect batch to perform controlled experiments on! |

They seem like aluminum foils to me. BTW Lucas do you mind telling what soil mix you used? I'm not too good with soil culture as for now. |

Yes, it's aluminum foil from the dollar store. I use 2/3 Scott's Supersoil potting mix and 1/3 vermiculite. 1/2 strength Miracle-Gro fertilizer after the roots are well established. I've already harvested twice and will post more pictures soon. (^_^)

Good stuff Lucas, great to know that all-purpose generic plant ferts and soils work great for this wild beast. Looks great, and I knew it! aluminum foil ftw  . We're not dealing with high intense lighting, who cares about light perfection. |

How do you know the roots are well established if you can't see them?

I'm putting together a grow log that explains it... |

Easy to tell, signs of well established roots:
1) Take the plant out of the pot and examine it.
if you're afraid that it might not be root/pot bound:
1.5) Ask your self if your watering has become more frequent, say once every one/two days?
1.75) Does the soil not seem to retain water or absorb any water any more? Bottom feeding is one of the only ways to saturate the soil.
2) The plant is starting to drop leaf growth faster and stretching to get more concentrated light on the leaves.
If 2/3 of these match then it's likely time to examine the roots physically and transplant if needed. Do not ever touch the roots or cut them back, you may 'fluff' the roots before transplanting, but do not break/damage/sever/destroy them.
The last two numbered examples should only be exercised once the gardener has some experience behind him and the plant has done some vigorous growth. A lot of new comers wont understand this concept fully until they are faced with it.
