Anyone else having a problem keeping their virtual wallets in their pockets? I seem to be buying an inordinate amount of tulip that I sort of want but really don't need. I will start off with my new grow light and grow tent, purchased at the beginning of March.
With the pandemic potential increasing and the resulting possibility of supply chain disruption I decided to return to my farming roots and ramp up the veg plots again. Ignored them for the last couple of years due to lack of time / motivation / testosterone so hoped that gardening might provide a distraction and some well needed exercise as well as some extra grub.
Whilst I have met the lady Mary Jane on many occasions be assured that this is not for the purposes of growing that particular vegetation. First on the list was of course the chillis, should be started in Feb ideally and wanted to get them off to a good start.
We have had chilli threads on here but I have now found an absolute winner for getting them off to a head start. The Spider Farmer SF-1000 - Spider Farmer Grow Light, SF-1000 LED Grow Lights with SAMSUNG Chips Dimmable Mean Well Driver, Full Spectrum 3000K 5000K 660nm IR Grow Lights for Indoor Plants Veg and Flower: Amazon.co.uk: Garden & Outdoors. I think I would have baulked at the current price of £229 - it was £160 when I got it - along with this grow tent which was £40 SavingPlus Indoor Grow Light Box Tent Aluminum lined Bud Dark Room for Hydroponic Fan 80X80X160CM: Amazon.co.uk: Garden & Outdoors.
If you grow chillis then I can't recommend this set up enough! My chillis are astounding. I used seeds purchased over the last year or two, the majority of which came through fine including one of the two Carolina Reaper seeds... So I have Apache, Jalapeno, Cherry Bomb, Habanero, Scotch Bonnet, Big Banana and Thor plants - most in the green house but the hot ones still in the grow tent.
Have used the tent as well to germinate tomatoes, French beans, leeks, sprouts, cabbage, peas and loads of other bits too. No way I would have bought this without the virus looming. I will post some of the other carp later.
