So the grow lamp room was a fail. The papyrus is barely growing. The hyacinths have just held on and everything else that survived I've moved to a sunlite window. I was looking forward to bountiful verdancy in January, oh well. Metal Halide, or at least this particular metal halide...? doesn't work much at all. But perhaps I just got a crappy product? I can't imagine people successfully growing marijuana with this lamp.... (Not that i would, just that's what comes to mind most usually wtih grow lamps...)

When I look online there are endless companies selling grow lamps. But I can't find anything that has decent reviews or shows plants really actually growing well. (sigh), perhaps I just bought the wrong product. Perhaps I didn't search well enough.

But then perhaps it's the soil? I don't know.

Did successfully sprout avocadoes, mangos, pear, cherry and lemon seeds. Looks like they'll live although not growing a lot as they don't get a lot of sunlight. Grape, blueberry and blackberry sprouted and then eventually died.
