Alright I got some new lights not a huge step up but better. Instead of a 1530 lumen incandescent light bulb, I now I have a 1600 lumen cfl bare-mini-spiral light bulb right above the soil [2 or 3 in]. I also replaced the closet light with the same type of bulb and I am leaving that on.
I am limited to CFL's right now no matter what, I was lucky to ifnd the ones I did at CVS, thats the only possible place I could go otherwise someone who takes me to get them will ask what theyre for... so not the brightest but it should work shouldnt it? I mean im not expecting the best I just want something to grow.
I germinated several seeds about 5 days ago in a warm spot. 2 days ago I took out a few but others were still sprouted but I left them in the moist towel in plastic wrap and put it in a drawer, today I opened it back up they were still moist and one with about an inch long sprout has a bit of fuzz on it, could be roots in the forming? Some grew a bit and some new ones sprouted. Will those still grow if I planted them?
After planting a germinated seed how long will it take until I see something come out of the ground? and how deep should the soil be?
Also the soil to where the seed is at is very dry, but right below it where the root/ sprout thing is, its moist. Should I water? Even a little bit?
One last question, the CFL bulb in my closet is about 1/2" away from the wall [its the closets design of the socket] (Incandescents were about 1 1/2" away) could that pose a fire hazard?
