so recently i decided to purchase some Naga Jolokia seeds (world's hottest chili peppers according to the guinness book of world records). i germinated ten seeds and ended up keeping four of the hardiest plants. something about growing plants really caught my interest so i decided to buy a 90watt UFO L.E.D. grow light. holy crap this thing is bright! apparently it is used to replace 400watt HPS lights. now im thinking about getting a small hydroponics kit for these peppers.
any of you in to the whole indoor/home gardening thing? |

| I love gardening! Not as high tech as you are, but I have lots of various indoor plants. I also planted a herb garden for the balcony a few days ago. It should provide us with fresh herbs for the entire summer. :) |

I love gardens. Inside I stick with cactuses - I love them.
Im going to plant a bunch of flowers on my fire escape/balcony hopefully this weekend. I would love to have an herb garden but raccoons and squirrels are always digging things up... Im worried that the herbs wouldnt survive all the trauma... I'll have to look into it.
As for you gardening Jay... if you come across any questionsI can forward them to my mother. My mother is a HUGE gardener both inside and out. Im pretty sure she has the same bulb as you for some of her indoor plants. |

I thought so too... but then I started doubting myself as I was typing so I looked it up. Apparently both are correct. |

my mom already grows herbs and flowers. she also has 43 orchids in the damn house which i have to water for her while the family is in hong kong for a month.
i just think they may freak out when they see all my new gardening stuff when they get back. |

I just grow herbs, because I realized that adding herbs to your meals is the easiest way to keep flavor without the calories :)
Herbs grow UBER fast. I have basil and cilantro right now and it only took a ocuple weeks to grow to 1 foot plants :) |
