Oh... yeah... right. I must have had something heavy fall on the ol' noggin during my most recent nap or something. I forgot who I was conversing with, LOL. You've got the cannabis extension of the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens there in your apartment.
I haven't a clue about the shipping cost, and was just being snarky about the rather extreme prices. Probably perfectly acceptable for people who look at things like this as just a
business expense, and who can just charge someone $80 to $120 per quarter-ounce for their merchandise. For those who grow out of some ever-shrinking hope that they'll find something that'll work for medicine for themselves and other people, and who do not SELL,
not so much. Well, no, not snarky - I self-censored myself quite a bit when typing my comments in. I'm just about completely turned off LED grow lighting - which sucks, because I've got one hanging over my head right now (so to speak). Maybe that's why I've been having so much trouble in getting any seedlings to actually break ground recently (something that used to happen if I so much as tossed a seed out the window and forgot about it). Black clouds of doom and all that, you know. Got one LED that is (or was) actually considered a powerhouse, but it nearly gives me a hernia when I have to hang the thing (and trying to remove it one-handed when it had plants under it left me useless for the rest of the day - and it's another one of those "better sell your Ferrari for the down payment"-class products. Got another one that appears to be just about, almost, sort of, on a good day, if that day happens to involve a freak windstorm removing half your roof so that sunlight can get in there...
adequate for the square footage that the rep repeatedly assured me it would be fine for. Err... for vegetative-growth use
. But it's a blurple that could benefit from some relatively low color temperature CFLs(!) to fix its spectrum, IMHO - so why not just use the little curly bulbs in the first place? And its fans are anemic.
I had hopes when I saw that the 8BK seed had extended a root tip so quickly (55 hours or thereabouts? Quicker than when a week goes by and I don't see anything, at least), but it must have used all its energy on opening the seed case, then expired. If I could find my old cannabis seed emory board, I'd be scuffing the blazes out of every seed I drop these days, in hopes that something would change. First I thought, "Well, it's too cold here, with 55°F being a rare event - and maybe my oven's pilot light is actually too warm." But, recently, it has been in the low-mid 80s in here, so IDFK. But you don't need to "hear" me whining about my issues. I'm just having a bad day. About ruined myself, physically, yesterday and between that & ol' uncle Arthur visiting (damp/rainy today), well... I'd probably turn down sex with a hot, mute, Mona Lisa with a Machine Gun right now. Let alone something with such a low effort:reward ratio as making my way down to the kitchen and trying to fix something(???) to eat.
My laptop ought to have some kind of safety interlock mechanism for days like this. IDK... Maybe boot up with some kind of idyllic landscape picture, with sunshine, fluffy clouds - and refuse to proceed if I take one look at it and put my fist (when I can even make one reliably) through the screen. But then my post count would probably be somewhere around twelve, IDFK.
