Q.Indoor Growing
I purchased one of those growing lights from Amazon and want to start growing my garden plants indoors in the utility room. I started some pumpkin seeds which grew about 5-6” tall and then the wilted and died. I was having the light on for 6 hours per day. Was that too short, too long or should it be on/off over a few hours. Want to start the rest of seeds by the end of February, so any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
