I was going to start all of my seeds outside following the WS method, but was advised that a few of the things I wanted needed a longer head start to bloom early. I bought a Jiffy system and my Coleus, impatiens and "avalanche" petunias have germinated. Great! Then I realized I needed to DO something with these little seedlings! I headed to the home center looking for a 2' plug-in shoplight set up, but couldn't find anything. The on a recent trip to WallyWorld I found this "grow light" and have put my impatiens and petunias under it. The light is held up with yarn (best I could do on short notice) and the plastic "pallets" are being held up close to the light by old VHS tapes. This is literally the only place I have to put this, and the light is a little too long, so it is a not perfectly horozontal. Also, there is only one bulb in the "grow light." It's very low-budg, which is completely fine with me, as long as it works. So tell me what you think! Do you think this'll work? Does this look about right? Do I need a second bulb? Do I need to change anything? Am I even in the right Forum for this question? All advice is welcome and will be humbly considered. Thanks! GreenerBeaner |
