    If my link won't work you can go on YouTube type in Germination Growlights stand part 1 with Brian D.

    blue if ever needed lol.

    it was a pain one handed to get the chains right, but it'll do for now.
    Obv. i get answers on the lamp used.
    Its a Nicrew day and night overhead fishtank lamp.
    My tiny brains looks at it this way:
    Good enough the help plants grow in my old fish tanks, good enough to help seeds out of water.
    my plants were tiny until i got a decent lamp then they spouted away.
    [​IMG]
    But end of the day (apart getting dark!) its what i have atm.
    Look fwd to your comments advice etc.

    So me I ask you can you find a smaller canopy think they called banners and the tube to fit my inside de mention are 106cm at a push, b4 I binned the search I saw 125cm ones.
    Any help links etc I would really appreciate the help.
    Maybe a double tube banner not sure.
    Thank you,
    Bri

    Sorry
    The most important question I should be asking the wattage and lumens yous suggest for growing the seeds and micro greens.
    Like I said earlier numbers etc just turn my head into mush
    Any help be appreciated
