That has happened to me in the past. Did you set up the grow lights as we discussed?

Ahhh no wonder you didn't have good luck. Your plants need the gro lights to flourish. Gro lights are like getting sunlight. Sunlight from a window is not the same unless it's a window that gets at least six hours of direct sun a day.

People here grow marijuana here in closets and things with those lights...until the police catch them haha!

lol! People here do the same!!!! The plants were in front of the living room window - which is the whole length of the wall and is the warmest room with sunlight from when we open the curtains in the morning until it gets dark in the evening. Oh well, better luck next time!!!! Very Happy

Glass of the window will filter out some if not all the UVA UVB rays that usually kill germs and bacteria.
Same as in a fish tank: plants need more light than the one from the windows or they are going to die.

I'm going one better this time - I've put my name on a waiting list to rent an allotment Very Happy

I might have to wait a few months before one comes available, but I can grow veggies outside then Smile

That's great! You can grow cold weather veggies like cabbage and brussel sprouts!

brussells?? yuk!!!!!!! lol Smile

Do spuds grow in winter? I'll have to have a look around and see what to plant and when. I'm not sure how long i'm going to be on the waiting list though, so will leave the looking around until I'm given a plot.
