Lightbulb millet is finally growing in my apartment

well I have some baby light green millet shoots coming out of the grass now! This is my 1st time growing millet and its doing rather well indoors. I have it in a 20 inch long pot by 4 inches deep by 4 inches wide. I should be getting all sorts of millet spray in a month or so. Right Now I see 2 small green seed heads.

I know this is an older post but I was wondering how is the millet coming along. Is it fully grown by now? Did you need a lot of light to grow it and did you hang it to dry or feed it fresh? I would love to try but our home is dreadfully dark. I find it hard to even grow houseplants.

Thanks for the update :)
