Hello,
I am wanting to grow for personal use only. I have germinated a few seeds and now have them planted as they have sprouted. My growing situation is very limited as there are kids around. I have found a place that could work in the detached garage. I have planted them in a 12' diameter pot, and I have an old fishtank flouresent light to provide the light and a timer. I currently have the timer set to provide light for 18 hours, I just planted them 1/2 inch down in the potting soil, so they have not yet broken the surface after transplanting them. The lights are both 48 inch bulbs, one white and one actinic. Will an actinic bulb provide any benefit? Or should I use white lights, I am a fish enthusit and flouresent tubes are not a problem for me. I am only wanting to grow 2-4 plants at the most at any given time. Also, during the day this garage can get in access of 115 degrees F during the day while I am at work, is this a problem in heat? The garage has windows that I can open if need be. If I have given enough info will I be fine or do I need to make other adjustments to have a successful plant? TIA
