Ok, so i figured i'd finally start my own thread like most everyone else for those times i can post multiple things at once or something i'm working on that doesn't quite fit in a current thread or category or whatever. in fact i still need to upload some tomato and watermelon pics and i hope to do that by the end of this week or next week.
But i guess i will start off with my new led light i got yesterday. I'm planning on experimenting with making my own grow box for indoor/winter plant breeding and/or growing, and along the way i want to experiment with LED grow lights (two different styles), aeroponics, mushroom growing, etc.
One of the new LED grow lights i bought for my upcoming winter/indoor growing experiments came yesterday. Boy is it bright! So bright in fact that it can hurt your eyes if you look directly at them. But this thing is so bright i expect my tomato seedlings and others will not die this time and will actually get adequate lighting. I chose these on their relatively high wattage (can only expect about half of what they say) and relatively cheap price, plus shipping from a US warehouse to speed up shipping rather than china direct. I was actually aiming more for the balanced red and blue lighting and less on the "full spectrum", but these do include about 5 white leds on there as well. I figure they mostly help in reducing strain on human eyes from indirect light.

And here are some teaser photos from the garden this year.
