can you please explain why. i dont want to start the grow if it will not work. thank you.
your setup is sounding more bizarre,as you add details :wtf: ... dark room, no lights ??? :wtf: ... white painted glass still passes plenty enough light to promote algae ... start over, this time by reading the Basics ... I have a feeling it will take you many failures, before you start growing conventionally ... no offense meant, I wish you luck
