ok im about 75 % done my designs for a 3 foot tall, 2 shelve - fully automated growing chamber.
this will be a shelve unit enclosed in plexi glass
now, 2 things i need ti finish designing are
Doorway and heating / lighting
what kidna of light would be sufficent to run and on what kind of time schedule?
a light on each shelf is necessary
but do i need a black light? how long?
do i use the light to control the temp?

Any normal light in the room will be plenty....just a few minutes a day works fine...
no black lights...they cause mutations sometimes.
no you dont use light to control temp...whats the temp where your terrarium is gonna be?....70-80 should be ok.
