My indoor mini roses are starting to re-bloom! And they also have spidermites... Took care of them, though.

Song Review: Grow Lights - “She Don’t Live Here Anymore”
When two bands aren’t enough, one forms a third.
Huffamoose and Fractals singer/guitarist Kevin Hanson debuts Grow Lights with “She Don’t Live Here Anymore.” And if the premiere single is any indication, Hanson, bassist Pete Donnelly and drummer Pat Berkery plan to specialize in anthemic power-pop.
Something tells me she’s not home/she don’t live here anymore, goes the refrain.
While the single eschews the quirkiness of Hanson’s other groups, “She Don’t Live Here Anymore” is ready made for radio with its power-chord hooks and bright vocal harmonies. And the the band’s latent sense of humor comes through in its brief introductory statement.
“Are you ready to rock? Oh, you're not sure? Whatever. Kevin Hanson, Pete Donnelly and Pat Berkery came together to form Grow Lights. The world was never the same. Be ready for a bevy of good-time tunes to make your life incredible and boundless.”
Bring it on.

Just ordered a full spectrum grow light so I can get seedlings started for ground cover!

Light environment control targets and quality physiology of artificial light vegetable production
Tumblr media
Quality and functional substance accumulation levels are one of the important indicators of concern in facility vegetable production. For vegetables, the main nutritional quality indicators include primary metabolites (sugar, protein, minerals, vitamins, cellulose, etc.) and secondary metabolites (anthocyanins, phenolics, flavonoids, lycopene, etc.). These indicators are controlled by light conditions. In other words, they are nutritional quality indicators that can be controlled by light conditions, which have prospects in the applications of LED lighting.
Hu et al.'s (2014) study showed that consuming 200g of fruits (equivalent to two apples) per day can reduce the risk of stroke by 32%; consuming 200g of vegetables per day can reduce the risk of stroke by 11%. The appearance quality and nutritional quality of vegetables are very important.
Zheng Xiaolei et al. (2011) studied the effects of different light qualities (white fluorescent light, red LED, blue LED, red/blue LED) on the growth and edge burning of loose leaf lettuce under plant factory conditions, providing a certain theoretical basis for the high-quality and efficient production of loose leaf lettuce in plant factories.
The results showed that red/blue LED can significantly increase the fresh weight, leaf number and leaf area of loose leaf lettuce, and reduce the nitrate content of loose leaf lettuce, but does not reduce the edge burn index; red LED can promote stem elongation, significantly reduces the burnt edge disease index and nitrate content, but is not conducive to dry matter, vitamin C accumulation and leaf area increase; blue LED inhibits the growth of loose leaf lettuce and increases nitrate content, but can significantly reduce burnt edge disease index. It showed that red LED is beneficial to the growth of loose leaf lettuce in the plant factory and reduces the occurrence of burnt edges.
The plants had longer internodes and thinner stems under red light. Under blue light, the internode is shorter and the stem is thicker, and the elongation and growth are inhibited to some extent (Jao and Fang, 2003). 
Blue LED significantly inhibits the growth of loose leaf lettuce stems. Red light promotes stem elongation (Li and Kubota, 2009); while under blue LED, the stem length was 16% shorter than the control, indicating that blue light inhibited stem elongation. and the results were consistent with those of previous studies.
Blue light increased the activity of indoleacetic acid oxidase, decreased the level of auxin, and inhibited plant growth. Red and blue LED light can increase the vitamin C content of loose leaf lettuce compared with fluorescent light, and red LED can significantly reduce the vitamin C content of loose leaf lettuce. Chen Qiang et al. (2009) found the same result on tomatoes.
The effect of light quality on vitamin C content was related to the activity of its synthesis and decomposition enzyme activity. Galactolactone dehydrogenase (GalLDH) directly catalyzed the synthesis of vitamin C from galactolactone. Ascorbate oxidase and ascorbate peroxidase (AAP) are key enzymes in the oxidation of vitamin C in plants (An Huaming et al., 2005), and these three enzymes are sensitive to light. The mechanism of the different responses of the above three enzymes to different light properties needs to be further studied.
Vitamin C is an important nutrient component and an important index to evaluate the quality of loose leaf lettuce. Leafy vegetables are very easy to enrich nitrate, which is converted into nitrite during use, which is harmful to human health. Red LED can reduce the nitrate content of loose leaf lettuce, while blue LED can increase the nitrate content of loose leaf lettuce (Zheng Xiaolei et al., 2011; Deng Jiangming et al., 2000).
Blue LEDs increase nitrate content mainly because the process of absorbing nitrate nitrogen requires energy consumption, and blue light is likely to promote nitrate nitrogen absorption by stimulating ATP formation. The cogroups of nitrate reductase (NR) are flavin adenine dinucleotide and purine, and the chromophore of blue light receptor contains flavin and purine, so blue light is likely to directly stimulate NR, so that nitrate in loose leaf lettuce leaves can be reduced quickly, thus promoting the absorption and accumulation of nitrate.
The anthocyanin synthesis and accumulation of red leaf lettuce will decrease under the facility cultivation condition. Studies have shown that supplementing blue light and UV-B light at night can significantly improve anthocyanin synthesis. Shoji et al. (2010) studied the effect of increasing blue light intensity in red-blue composite light on anthocyanin synthesis. The accumulation of anthocyanins is the largest under blue light of 100umol/m2·s, the smallest under red light, and the red and blue composite light was in the middle. That is to say, the ratio of red to blue is very important in the synthesis of anthocyanins in red leaf lettuce.

Some references for later in my plant journey. I got this lovely mint plant last week or so and I want to take care of her as best I can in my current conditions, which will be challenging (hence the link about grow lamps lol), but feasible.
Look at her glow in the sunlight ☀️
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I want to find a nice pot for her, I have so much compost she can use to grow so I'm exited to start laying that down. Right now she's just in fromt of my balcony window soaking up as much light as she can (which isnt terribly too much light considering the orientation of my apartment unit lol). Her stems and leaves are bent from following the light, and thats so cool to notice since i first got her.
I'm excited for this whole process! And one day I'll be able to say I can take care of a plant, which will erode my fears about growing my own food from seed. Speaking of which, a nice vendor from the city market gave me a choice of 2 seed packets for free!
I had no idea where to start and dont know the differences between certain crops so I got these two:
Tumblr media
One cuz it was a tomato and I heard tomatoes are easy enough to grow, and the other bc they look very pretty and could serve as decorative flowers for my balcony or indoors! I'll plant some of these badgirls soon enough :-). I wanna gather more knowledge first, just so I can continue this journey a but more sure of myself.
