Maybe you should put it near a south-facing window too?

Snookie · 10-20-2013, 03:43 PM

No Sir

But who's dat sleeping on the couch?:}

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.
