I started in the closet from seeds 3 plants to test and 2 weeks after i started 5 more. I kept 6 healthy ones. I have had a 45w neon in there and that's it.
I found a cheap thermometer at the dollar shop and looking for a humidex tester. after paying my rent and bills i will have 50$ to buy food for the month.
I have no money but i will do with what i got. Right?
2 weeks ago I took my 6ft living room lamp apart and hung it over the neon with a 27w=100w florescent house light.
I sense poor isolation so it's not very warm in there. it can get pretty dry. yet i feel the plants might want some heat. This is where the lamp comes into play.
I am scared of burning my leaves. (I have a few questions here)
I can touch the neon and not burn myself right away, I just feel the heat but i haven't touched it very long either.
Q1: 45w Neon, How close to the neon can i get them ? What if the leaves touch the tube ?
Q2: 27w Fluo, Same question
Q3: 100w reg. house light, Can/should I use it as a heat source ? (If so, whats the safe distance?)
Q4: Best practices, (Do consider my current setup and budget please) I am listening...
