Growing an indoor herb garden with flourescent lights?
I bought a pre packaged kit for an herb garden. It had 3 packets of Burpee seeds for Basil, Organo, and Thyme. The soil was in little discs that expanded when water was added. I planted the seeds as directed. The container is like a metal rounded window box and is about 14″x3″. The soil is moist and I have not watered since I planted everything (2 days ago).
Since there is not a lot of sunlight coming through I want to supplement light with a compact flourescent bulb. I have 2 60 watt bulbs that cover the span of the box (it is in an aquarium light fixture)
How long before I see results? How long should I keep it under the lights a day? Should I continue to cover it with plastic wrap? ANY OTHER ADVICE?
No no lulu, truly growing Basil, Thyme and Oregano.
You might want to use grow lux florescent lights for better results, but you should see sprouts in a week and a half to three weeks. You don’t have to use lights until you see the sprout.
