The lamp is quite bright. Using it as a nitelight so no need to turn on other lighting (save energy).
Currently Lavender, strawberry, tomato, french marigold, basil, sweet alyssum. Started 1 week ago.
French marigold, basil, sweet alyssum sprouted.
Temperature range is approx 27 ~ 31°C.
So how many hours of darkness do you recommend?
Previously I have grown strawberry, tomato, basil.
tomato flowered and bear fruit… but only like, 1~2 fruits actually matures. then it dies. the 2 tomatoes like tasteless.
strawberry grew and flowered, but never bear a single fruit, then it dies.
Didn’t thin the plants then (no such guides or advise available 1 year ago). So it may not be attributed t the extended light exposure.
basil grew quite vigorously. Managed to re-pot it. That’s the only thing that is considered a success with my experience with C&G.
I restarted the SGs after about 1 year, and I want to get it right, hence asking for advises from experts.
Just before this latest endeavor, I planted 3 batches of basil, marigold, alyssum, lavender. None germinated. But this is off-topic.
