---|---|---|---|
1 | Place – in box | Plants overheated – leaves browned | Needs misting |
2 | Spray w/ fertilizer-water | Leaves browned/dried, plants died | Only pure water mist |
3 | visited the grainger store and bought what I didn't need in bulk just to try it out | have a bunch of stuff that I can't use | buy * only - online - one item * before - bulk * from - places - hydroponics - that allow for returns * imp - when - exping - none - not really preventable if you don't know better - trial and error reigns instead * possible - document, share and learn/know for next time |
