danish: From what I understand these should be relatively low, stocky plants. Unfortunately I just don't have any other options due to space. First mistake was, we planted 6 seeds and didn't expect to have 6 plants survive. If they get root bound, then I'll have to be very attentive but in my situation it isn't a tragedy if they end up a little bit dwarfed - I would actually prefer it since we don't have a lot of unused spaces in our house to shift them into.

hudson88: I've been planning on adding a few more lights as time passes and the plants get bigger. Tomorrow, we have to run off to the big city and I am picking up 4 more bulbs and sockets while we are there. However, the seedlings didn't stretch when they were under the artificial light - they shot up out of the peat pots like they had a plane to catch overhead when they were seeds just getting started by a window. Once under the lights they only increased height a little and grew larger leaves. I'll go into a little detail in my update.

jazeking: I have a few pictures today (I've been wondering when the site would come back online) and I just have to figure out how to put them into posts on the site. Thanks for reading! Hope you keep following.

Now for an update...
PottyBear Reviewed by PottyBear on . Low-cost CFL Grow - My First Growing Attempt OK, here goes... I think I will make this grow log for the sake of anyone else like me who might be trying to do this indoors in the cheapest way possible, short of a pot on a windowsill (or if you already have a full-size greenhouse). I'm avoiding big expenses for supplies and equipment, and trying to keep the power bill under control. I have no idea what will come out the other end but there are not a lot of extras I can add. Iā??ll try and document what it costs along the way as best I can Rating: 5
