Its been long since the seeds germinated but still the seedlings were really tiny,
initially to protect it from getting destroyed by pigeons and squirrels I thought
about growing the seedlings inside. I heard about people using artificial lighting
so did some research on it and came to know that I can sue a normal CFL bulb
to grow the seedlings, in excitement I went to nearby mall and bought a 22watt
6500k CFL. I though it will work out well. Everything was looking fine but still
seedlings were growing slow, I tried to think where I went wrong and came to
know that I need to have a powerful CFL as 22 Watts arent good enough to grow
the plants. So once again I went to nearby malls and markets to find high power
CFL with minimum wattage of 40 watts 6500k, Initially it was hard to find it but
after going through some electrical shop I found a nice 100 watt 6700k flower
shaped CFL. I bought it right away thinking I can grow more seedlings or plants under it.
