thanks for the reply,
you sure? the soil felt quite dry to me. its just the heater does produce a lot of open heat so wasn't too sure.
and its winter so didn't think we are meant to fertilise. am i wrong? idk what im really doing. it maybe the excessive heat. the heat rises to the top of the tunnel. so the lower temp maybe 10 degrees but the higher maybe 30. maybe I should put a thermometer at the top of the tunnel and see
thanks for the reply
