<p>Hi, As blood meal here in Botswana is not on the market and can be only imported from SA after +1000 licences,permits etc.,I dig the net and found that blood meal is JUST dried blood <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_8651934_make-own-blood-bone-meal.html">http://www.ehow.com/how_8651934_make-own-blood-bone-meal.html</a>.Few more sites are giving similar recipes. Is there any difference between using dried(blood)meal and just poring the fresh liquid blood in FD grow bed? </p>

<p>I'd have to say that a 55Watt CFL of the "spiral" variety is not going to be enough to grow much of anything. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Tony...It's a bummer, but lighting is usually one of the biggest expenses when growing any kind of food stuffs indoors, weather aquaponically, hydroponically or otherwise.</p>
<p>What are the dimensions of your grow area (length width, not just sq.footage) and what are you trying to grow?</p>

Seems like it should be but I don't have a lot of experience with cfl's. I did try to grow romaine seedlings in direct winter sun which grew the same way you describe. Supplementing with a 6500k cfl to extend the light cycle didn't seem to help.<br />
<br />
Anyway, trying some bloodmeal couldn't hurt.
