okay then. i'm in a strange situation, in that it's reeeeaaally difficult for me to get any of the necessary stuff to make a good grow setup (in japan). i'm leaving in about six months, and i'm just seeing if i can get one (and my first ever) harvest before i go. the apartments here aren't heated, so it's around 11C degrees (51F) inside all the time. i can't change that. the light i'm using is only a cheesy fluro with about 70 watts (i don't know the light output). i thought it was pretty weak, so i scrounged around and got a 100watt fluro bulb for a standard lightbulb socket and trying to work that into the whole thing. i'm on an 18/6 light schedule. currently i'm trying to grow just three plants from feminized seeds. the lights keep it up to 23-25C (73-77F) which is not optimal, but better than i'm doing out in the rest of the apartment. i don't have access to mylar, i can't paint anything white, and tinfoil makes a lot of noise when i have the fan on (i did manage to get a fan). if i can figure out how to post pictures, y'all will have a better idea as to what i'm dealing with. i've read the forums, seen the pictures, and i know i have no hope of achieving anything near what y'all have done (it's really amazing, and inspires me once i get back home to put an concerted effort into this).
pretty much i'd like to know if this set-up will even work. it's from soil, one of the three seeds has sprouted, but i'm afraid she's not getting enough light. pictures would help y'all to understand...i don't know how to put them up. the one that sprouted is about maybe an inch and a half from the top of the soil before the two round leaves sprouted, and the jagged leaves are kinda visible (but not deployed yet). at any rate...what are the chances that i'll be successful-enough for a harvest? maybe three plants is too much for just one light and one bulb...i'll see what i can do about finding other ones, if necessary. i don't know what to do about the walls, but the plants aren't near enough to the walls to really get much light reflecting off anyways. hmmm...anyways, any advice you could give would be appreciated. thanks. peace to you.
