Somewhat satisfying to watch FP-2 slam into their operations

You could water cool LED lights 😉

Very good idea!

Oh my, those are incredible pods! Mine never grew to that size. How do you guys prepare the soil?
I‘ve had years of relatively poor outcomes with poppies, be it the orange Cali variety or beautiful white/lilac or Swiss cross (latter all somniferum).

Great idea!

I‘m planning to re-partition part of the lawn and use part of it for a insect habitat. Was looking for trees and cuttings but then our neighbour decided to chop down an apple and a pear tree. Have the wood ready, ours will be a dry habitat with clay/sandy soil and certain flowers etc.

I know the spectrum of these LED (they are old ones but excellent Luxeon quality) is neutral white and therefore they are good for growth.
There are others on the market today, I was thinking about mixing the blue with a little bit of red?

Thank you! Yes, I am noticing a shortening of the distance between the internodes where the branches are. It is close to a window too, but we don’t get that much sunlight here in winter.

It isn’t loosing leaves either like the one I tried to save last winter, too bad it didn’t have enough light 🥺

Should I double the available LED with the same ones again?

Any recommendations?
November 23, 2025 at 5:15 PM
The internodes between the leaves are very close, I would be interested in what kind of LEDs others are using in their own contraptions 😊

Maybe there is too little of the red spectrum entering through the window in this time of the year?

Had a few old LED in a cupboard and U bricolage'd them together as a source of light for the basil I regularly add to dishes.

8W (admittedly I didn‘t check the power they are provided 🤡) but cheap and available.

Apparently it works - we get one baking tray of pizza every now and then from it.

It isn’t unreasonable to have a bottle of Champagne cold for certain occasions either, is it?

Am I ok if I would laugh if it turns out this way?

I have this strange gut feeling that Don won’t be around for Christmas this year.
