thank you , I'll try that

will the flourescent tubes give the right sort of light ? - I read about it not being the right spectrum - but , hey , if it works for you then I'm sure it will work for me.

Thanks

Hi,

I'd like some help understanding what the minimum requirements would be for indoor chili growing using grow lights.

I now have several plants in my greenhouse but want to experiment with a hydro (and soil based)  set up in my garage as well .

What is a suitable basic set up for chilli plants under artificial light. ?

Can I build something up myself ? using sodium bulbs etc ?  - I'm rather put off by the expense of commercial HPS lights with "ballast" etc.

cheers
Pete

Hi
Im in Leeds in the North/Mid of UK

I  managed to kill 4 trays of seedlings in my first year of greenhouse growing by too much exposure on a hot day.

Now I have 2 plants and loads of to,matoes going but I really want to get a big crop of chillies from seed.

Do I still have time to start seedlings off this year I i grow hydroponically ?

Cheers

Pete ( pedro )
