I need to keep everything in my front room because of the tall ceilings and because it all takes up so much space, unfortunately the windows in that room face east, and there are a lot of trees and bushes in front of them, so the artificial light is a must, and the bananas are growing faster with the light than they were outside in the sunlight. So far I am LOVING this light I bought, awesome buy. everything is looking healthier and greener too. Lovin it!

What are You using for light ? I need to add some to mine. I have 6500k 300 watt CF over mine, groth is slow ...nut they may still be in shock from being ripped from the ground. My problem is I keep dragging pots in to save

Just be ever vigilant of spider mites. They can get out of hands indoors very quickly and are difficult to get rid of.

I burnt my head so many times. . . I still got hair tho. I guess I just make it mandatory for my setups just so the plants can breathe. Low speed fan on a timer ideal I'm tellin ya. . . do what you do bro lookin' ight so far. That heat from that light can dry a plant more than you realize. . . Take a week vaca a see if one of those plant don't get fried hehe

An irrigation or mist timer is more important than a fan ...

I use a 1 gal pump weed sprayer, I just give them a shot when I get off work.....Light Mist, I
know its in your home. I set mine up in my garage(heated). But I would Think you would
be able to hit them 3 or 4 times a week without a problem. Last year I had mine by the back
french doors....No lights ...but they were small and I used a spray bottle, I am still on board
with the fan thing just to keep them sturdy. Hell I dont Know makin it up as I go along
with Help from bananas.org. I did my time in Mt. Prospect . We had a hard time
growing a garden up there. Your Plants look Great.

This pic is from my gallery taken last April
Before you bring your plants in line them up and do a soil drench and spray them for a couple of days.......then bring them in.
I use Bayer Complete Soil and Insect killer.......no smell with good results.

Photo taken a few days ago.
I also use it on all my tropical ferns and I have sprayed my tomatoes for whitefly all with good results. It is one of a few insecticides that will not kill a fern.
This is a pic after being sprayed ready to come in.
I will grow these under one 23 watt daylight 6500k spiral from Walmart.:D
