Re: My indoor lighting/winter setup
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.

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. Last edited by cincinnana : 10-22-2013 at 09:38 AM. |

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. |
