EDIT: Title changed at the suggestion of a helpful member.
I've been trying to grow in a makeshift greenhouse and I can't get everything right. I'm getting a little better at not killing my plants but I'm still a LOUSY grower. My seeds always pop and break through soil but they always slow down after they reach 50mm height. I've improved every aspect of what I'm doing and it's getting a tiny bit better but my plants are still stunted. My 8 week old plants are 150mm tall, 6 week old are 100mm and 3 week old are only 50mm. I'm thinking it's my supplemental grow lights are not enough. I bought some 315w Philips Agro lights but I can't yet afford to pay an electrician to run the power to them.
I'm so friggin' frustrated I could pull my hair out!!
I might relegate the greenhouse to raising only vegetables and move the 'special' plants inside to an unused closet where I can better maintain lighting, humidity, temperature, etc. But that will cost even more money to set up. Since I seem to kill everything I try to grow, that will likely be a complete waste also.
Arrrrgh!!!
