Metal halide lamp is a bit of a fail. Cannot grow tomato plants. They all died. I think in part it got too hot for them? But at the same time wasn't enough sun energy. Catnip is about dead too. For the hell of it I tried some broccoli seeds and the same.

The lemon seeds came up nice but are just in stasis. And if I don't water a couple times a day, they quickly start wilting. The blueberry sprouts also going nowhere. And now the blackberry sprouts probably the same.

The papyrus plant is growing.

Been moving things to the window downstairs that gets some sunlight. It doesn't get a lot of sunlight as my state is very very dreary in the winter. But shall see if it manages better than the metal halide lamp. I guess though if I keep the window wide open to cool them down, while also putting the lamp much closer perhaps that might do some good....
