Haha missmacbre, I didn't realize where you were. The problem with growing in a window is light penatration. More and more UV rays are being reflected by gasses in our windows, making that sunlight almost useless after 2 or 3 feet. May I suggest trying CFL's to aid in your window grow. Most constrction 'drop lights' are capable of handling around 400w's, turn that into 4 fixtures by using 3 'y' splitters($2 a peice), be sure to get red spectrum bulbs (2700k) for vegetation period and blue spectrum for flowering phases (6000k). Using CFL bulb's you should still be way under the 400w limit of the fixture and I can say from experience that it will cover about 2.5 feet squared with 4 large CFL's. I use 2 setups like this, 8 bulbs total in about 3 foot sq VERY succefully.:cool:
