Thanks Erlend,
Unfortunately, moving it next to a window will not improve the situation tremendously because the sunlight is not very bright here in the Puget Sound region during the winter. Matter of fact, hardly any when it's raining. Unlike other places in the US. And most people know how much it rains in Seattle. To make matters worse, my house has a 3-foot overhang all around.
Maybe, I'll just double the wattage plus add another lamp with a 25-watt incandescent lamp over it. Or maybe, even a 60-watt halogen lamp over it. Come to think of it, I still have a half dozen of them. I wouldn't dare place it in my greenhouse because the temperature over there is only 55degF(12.8degC)
Thanks again.
