Default A New Chapter, 45 watt LED light, Feminized seeds, CFLs
This is my 5th grow attempt. My 2nd and 3rd were successful, with one plant each producing smokeable bud.

I just ordered the 45 watt LED light GlowPanel from Amazon for $140 including 1-3 day shipping.

I have a light-tight room with good aeration where I can put the plants, and plenty of space for raising and lowering the lights.

I also ordered, from The Attitude seed bank, Barneys LSD Feminized. They have a conversion to US dollars, and for 5 seeds it was $60. With international air fair it came to about $74 and I've heard they deliver in 2-3 weeks.

I have ONE "Monster Bud" seed left from an old purchase so when I get my light this weekend I'll start growing it, while I wait for my FEMINIZED seeds.

Cool thing about Attitude, they gave me two free different feminized seeds (well, there was no quantity listed but I assume it's one each, if they're fem), so I got a total of 7 fems which makes me feel better as with shipping that's about $10/seed. If you figure conservatively I'll grow at least 3 to bud, and my smoking habits are such that one crappily-grown plant (using my growing history as a guide) supplies 2 weeks of smoke, I get 1.5 months of smoke for $75, whereas I used to pay $60 for 1/2 month of smoke.

The cost in savings? Not much.

The cost in grower experience?

PRICELESS.

Default addendum
I forgot to mention: ordering from Attitude was really easy from the US: I just gave them my ATM/VISA bank card information, just like I would if ordering from Amazon.

Default Got the Glowlight and 7 seeds yesterday
They arrived earlier, stealth was fine, I got my 5 Barney's LSD and 2 freebies, fem sour cream and fem ufo.

Still have to set everything up and install a hook in the ceiling with a chain to hang the light from.

I may start the seeds in the incubator tomorrow.

I got the seeds from Attitude seed bank in less than 2 weeks and ordering online with my ATM/VISA was easy and it showed up in my check register as something inconspicuous, can't remember what, but stealth is maintained. Very happy with this company and will definately order from them again.

I will have pics in a few days when I set everything up.

Also I haven't mentioned but conversation is welcome on this thread so feel free to ask questions or contribute.

Default pics of the new LED light, life
When the LEDs are turned off, they fade strangely, red last to go. I have some pics here. Also my avatar in playstation Home.

Default Started two fem seeds Sunday
Re-installed my hook since I had just screwed it into the drywall of the ceiling. Without tools, I just the anchor for the new hook and squirmed it in the hole til it was big enough. Now the hook is more secure.

Thank you Curtis and Odin for the comments, I will have pics soon; today is Tuesday and I expect the babies will hatch by this weekend.

Then it's watching them closely not to over-light or over-water.

I may set my timer for 18 hours instead of 24 while they're small. Any comments on this are welcome!

Default Various Pics, Grow started in TWO DAYS!
Under my LED GloLight, after 2 days a baby has already broken ground.

The light is about 6 inches above the grow plate, a plug-in thing which warms the grow structures.

You buy these soil-pellet things, expand them with boiling water, work them with your fingers, then put a seed inside them.

If you can't start a seed in here, it's not your fault-- the seed is dead. I tried this with some bagseed, which never grew though all my purchased seed always grew; I thought about why-- I realized the person who sold me the bagseed was in the habit of freezing his cannabis-- seeds, and all, so I was trying to grow frozen seeds, already dead-- busted out from ice crystals.

So anyways, I have this plug-in thing which warms the little dirt pods with my seeds in them and you have to keep the thing moist, because it's constantly heating it, mildly.

In other climes you would water less but here on the west coast, even as of this early November, we're reaching temperatures in the 90's so I have to find a fine line between over-watering and over-heating.

Hello - I don't want to burst your bubble, but unfortunately in my opinion you have spent your money on a fairly low-powered unit, which I doubt will make you satisfied. Although the so-called UFO LEDs are only twice the wattage - 90 watts, they utilize 90- one watt LEDs, and provide a huge bang, compared to those 45 watt panels, with about 112 LEDs.
I'd say return it, if you can - and put your money into an UFO. You can get one, for the same money on eBay - or, if returning is not an option, use the little panel for your babies, and get a UFO or two, for your flowering. My friend has one of those 45 watt panels, and it's nowhere near strong enough for flowering - unfortunately.
