Thank you for the comments, Emmie. Your points are well taken and you're correct...my setup is far from optimized. That said, my plants are healthy, with compact internodal spacing, lush growth and a deep green color with no signs of nutrient deficiency (see photo below from today). They're sprouting right up and bushing out nicely, too, with all but one doubled in height in 8 days (and it got transplanted twice...my fault).

My objective is an easy grow with low capitol outlay that produces a solid crop. I'm not trying to maximize my yield for sale to a coop, so if I'm not quite producing to the genetics' fullest potential I won't consider it a failure. In any event, I plan to document this grow through to curing and weighing, so its success or lack thereof will be right out there for all to see.

The windows are single-pane, untreated glass 6 1/2 feet tall, and I have been using this sunroom to grow winter veggies (tomatoes, peppers, okra, herbs, eggplant, etc.) very successfully.

Yeah, I know that's not recommended, but I've Rating: 5
