Anyone else growing with LEDs?

Anyone else growing with LEDs?

I've got ten buttons, the biggest healthiest ones about an inch and a half to 2inches across. There are some runts too, but 6/10 look great!

I've been growing them under 20 watts of full spectrum LED, which is measuring about 9,000 lux with the "lux" app on my phone.

To me this seems low on paper. I just transplanted them so they're on reduced light for the time being. But should I trust that 20 watts has gotten me this far, no need to mess with it. Or should I expose them to more light?

According to the supplier, this translates to about 300 watts of traditional grow lighting. The lights are about a foot and a half away from the the buttons.

Like, I'm wondering if the "runts" are small because of insufficient light.

Also this picture is displ8tjem at about 40% of the brightness they usually live in. They were in Tupperware, now in pots. Haven't decid5how I want to group them yet. For now the strongest ones are in the most intense light until they get over any root shock from transplanting.

Today I placed a sell request in afterhours. Cancelled it with the intention of changing the price. That trade has been stuck on *pending cancel* now for over 6 hours. I was essentially locked out of trading that position for the remainder of AH, which was really annoying. But okay.

Now, I just went and put in a fill order for tommorrow for a certain stock. Thought better of it, and decided to go with a different stock. These are mega-cap companies btw. I cancel THAT order, go to place a new one, and I'm getting a message saying I can't because my cash is committed to the order that I cancelled. It's not *pending cancelled*, it's *verified cancelled*.

What is going on? I'm now locked out of trading one product, and using my cash for another.

I'm gonna be pretty upset if this doesn't resolve by the time the market opens tomorrow.

...on Amazon, 1 of 1 in that shop. I just figured I'd drop in to say, buy the SD and MCIS books while you can if you want them. They're out of print and appear to be harder and harder to find, as people like me locste a copy and will probably hold onto it forever.

It should be said, this is the *second* time I've bought these books in my life. The first set disappeared to the mists of time ca 2000. I think I spent 60 on the MCIS book, which was triple what I paid in 1998. And who knows how much they'll go for in like 25 years?!

They are excellent resources, and I consider both incredibly notated compared to other books(looking at you Nirvana). Plus, both contain full reprints of article series Billy did for GW magazine, that gives keen insight into his tone and songwriting methods, not to mention a few snippets of tabs from Gish and Pisces!

Anyways, carry on.

So I've grown these buttons(10 total) from seed. They've been in the same dirt this entire time, highly organic. I've been using LED lights to great effect. Watering them weekly, alternating heavy and a mist. It's all been great.

But we're definitely in mid spring here in Florida, and now is the time to get them to stage two.

I've prepared a mix of:

7 parts grey pumice(1/8"),

5 parts red volcanic rock(1/4"),

3 parts river sand(coarse, but still smaller than the other two mineral sources)

5 parts happy froge soil(original soil I used for germination)

This is a 75/25 mix. Is this too aggro for plants this age? The average diameter 1 to 1.5"...

They will be going into their own individual pots, with a screen and a half inch of pure pumice for drainage, and I was probably going to top dress the final product with the pumice or sand.

Any thoughts?

.....and I don't think I can ever play without it on again 😂

The raw crunch sounds it gives are great on their own. But pushing it into a Marshall DSL OD2 channel has added a level of harmonics and sustain, particularly on anything past the 12th fret that is awesome. I suddenly sound so much better soloing. Total AHA moment :)

Greetings, a few weeks back I bought ten shares of a stock. Now when I go to sell those shares specifically, both the app and the website say there are zero shares to sell. Even though it is reflected on my positions page! What do I do? Images attached
