@Jenny namaste ....My tomatoes are growing but don't look very healthy,there's discolouration on some of the leaves so they're obviously lacking in something....think it's time for a councelling session

 

or a team building jolly,
Jenny

 

....no i didn't FC....I should have done....i'll take one out and put it in the propagator to see what happens...if anything

 

Well mines going great guns
The coleus are still quite small but look healthy and are bigger than I've managed before.
The canna rhizomes have all sprung back into life
Brugmansia cuttings have been moved into bedroom window, too tall now.
The chillis are growing there 2nd set of leaves.
4 trays of canna seeds are in at the moment.

 

My Monkey Puzzle is a good 10cm tall - I thought they were supposed to be incredibly slow from seed, but they seem to be enjoying the supplemental light so far

I've found 2 defects whilst growing some tomato varieties under lights, 'blotchiness' with lighter coloured areas on the leaves and the other to be a pronounced bluish tinge to their leaves. Others thrive and develop deep green leaves and stocky stems.
