Hello everyone. After several attempts to find the right forum I think I'm in the right place.
Have a grow just starting. I'm germinating right now.
Before I begin a few details.
I live in a tropical location far far away from the USA. I can't mail order nutes or grow supplies. I can't grow outside. I have neighbours.
It is hot outside and hot inside. 26-34 degree C.
The RH inside varies between 55-70%.
I'm growing in a spare room that has a small window which is upstairs and most importantly NOT overlooked or passed by.
I can't cut holes in the walls or make any structural changes whatsover to the room.
I have made a grow cubbyhole using an upturned piece of furniture which should suit my needs nicely.
I've included a link to my album where the pictures should explain all.

The room does not have A/C (as of now) and is too hot with the CFL's going and the fans on.
My questions are numerous...
Is there anything I can do to line the inside of the grow box to make it safer or more reflective. Right now I'm concerned about it being a fire risk.
Next the soil is some I got from a locally owned garden center. There are no big chain stores out here for that kind of thing.
It is just potting soil for normal plants. Organic. It is black in color with large squishy bits in it and hairs.
Is it any good?
What should I be mixing it with to make it better for my plants?
There is some stuff called 'Seed up' I am using but beyond the title it is all written in 'Tropical dialogue.'
That's all for now. Wish me luck
