I would do inside but its so expensive and I am on a very low budget. What type of flood light was that, how far did you keep it from the plants? Details would be great I could really use a cheap method like that.

I know how it is to be on a budget, thats why i tried this. My advise is to start with two lights.

(Info) May 21, 2008 16:59:38 ET In Reply to: Re: ??? posted by redeyedrevolutionist (Info) May 21, 2008 12:33:18 ET if you have your seedlings coming directly out of the ground you might want to protect them from leaf-cutters and other critters that love to eat those tender shoots. a barrier method works great for this and can be done by taking a serrated knife and cutting both ends off of an aluminum can (be careful with the sharp edges). hold the can centered over the seedling and press into the ground enough to form a seal and stay in place...sometimes you need to trench around the can to make it stay. after the 'bark' forms around the trunk the can can be removed or it can be left in place for entire grow... also be sure to keep a roll of duct tape handy for quick fixes when a branch breaks or for tying down. good luck...
