    Next week I hope to have my 600 w sodium light in my greenhouse,I would like to ask a few questions to my knowledgeable friends.
    I want to grow flowers for Christmas,if I plant seeds in a few weeks of different verities and keep the grenhouse warm and bright can I do this?or will it work?
    Secondly I have my chilli seeds for next season can I also start them now if I wish?
    I was thinking of keeping the GH warm and putting the light on at 6 am and off at 9 am
    Winter sunlight untill I come home them put the light say 4 pm and back off at 8ish.
    All advice really welcomed.thanks Roy

    The only advice I can offer is to perhaps look for an IFA to help you through the mortgage application - - you are going to need it to keep up with your 'leccy bill :snork:

      Over or under watering, or something else?
