I live in a very cold climate and it gets difficult at times to re-create a tropical environment indoors when there is constantly a foot or two of snow outside. I have to use a space heater in my bedroom to keep the temperature around the 80 degree mark. It's easy to do but the problem is that...

I plan on growing on an open table in my bedroom. What problems might I face as a result of this? The first problem that came to my mind was lightproofing the room during flowering. I heard that a Harvest can be reduced by 30% simply from going from 100% lightproof down to 99% lightproof. One...
