Oh Granny, no expert here on anything. I know some stuff about some stuff and I forgot a lot of it over the years of a lot of sickness and junk. I'm a regular girl with a little information...could be dangerous!
Lester, I will take photos later today and give you a personal update! I can tell you the plants are very firm and producing now. Bracts are really plumping up now, but I still don't see a lot of trichome production. There are more trichs on the Money Maker than the WW x BB and LK.
Inside, the plants are still little babies, but the Money Maker is MUCH slower than the Strawberry Blue.
Photo update to come...
Now, I am ordering two of the Top LED 48x3 Reflector Panels. My reasoning is simple, they have the most output for the price and I like that we get to see the vendor on a regular basis, she never has a bad thing to say or a bad attitude and customer service goes a long way with me. I know these are from China, but I have not been able to narrow down an American manufacturer. I don't know enough about LEDs to buy a more expensive unit. Not yet. I'll get my hands wet with the Top LED and move from there.
One more thing here since this is an OT journal. I am trying to compile a list of wishes for my next and probably final home purchase. I think it should be inland, but near a body of water and definitely in the mountains. I need mountains or ocean and ocean is going to flood, so inland mountains. It must have four seasons, but not brutally cold, not ever brutally cold. Okay, two weeks of cold, but the rest moderate like it is in the PNW. One story. Property, but not that has to be manicured. Open space for growing food. Modern bathrooms and kitchen. Oh forget it. I'll never find this house so I'll just continue to enter the HGTV Smart House Sweepstakes.
