    Really impressed with mine! Easy to set up, very useful pamphlet included which gives advice and tips. Basically, the smaller the plants, the closer the light needs to be and the light hood moves up and down to suit. I put the unit in a warm room which the chillis and peppers like. Have put the lights on a timer so don’t need to worry about switching on and off, they come on at 9am and off at 8pm. Hope it works great for you, too. What will you be growing?

    Thanks for that, not sure yet, my wife will be using it, it’s arrived and looks good.  Could be useful for fresh herbs.

    Nice morning here with plenty of hazy sunshine and a mild 12C, but that SE’ly wind is pretty gusty. Looks like our region is best (or worst, depending on preferences) placed to see some snow this weekend. Unless that high sinks too far south, still time for that to happen. 

    My pepper and chilli plants are doing well under my new toy (Grow Light Garden by Garland) ???

    So guys in the no snow zone

    Watch that radar today- swing point around mid to late morning when showers 'should' start edging up the thames-

    Also end of week getting very interesting !

    Just listened to John Kettley being interviewed on LBC, he says snow for London later on today.  So also with Steve’s comment, maybe all not lost yet.

    It's great to see some areas get a good snowfall overnight but for the majority of us this is turning into a major disappointment

    For me

    • I thought they were supposed to be dream synoptics, I just can't see how they were
    • I thought it was supposed to be windy, it certainly isn't here
    • I thought it was supposed to be unusually cold, it isn't
    • I thought there were supposed to be widespread heavy showers merging into bands of snow - there hasn't been

    So what went wrong or was it just over hyped?

     

    Overhyped, I can’t understand receiving two met off ice yellow warnings for Thursday and Friday at 0457 this morning having just read a post from someone who had just spoken to the “chief” at Exeter to say not much expected.

    $64,000 question!  I would say Tuesday and first part of Wednesday is our best bet here in RP - we are quite a bit west so are dependent on the streamers aligning perfectly.  I am hopeful of up to 2 inches!

    Late Thursday into Friday is the big hope.  Was looking pretty good until this evening's model runs.  Let's hope it's only a blip but am not overly optimistic (that might change tomorrow!). 

    Thanks Mulzy, my wife needs to drive to Clapham on Tuesday and Thursday, caring for old lady.

    if thats correct, then the Met Office are vastly underplaying it for now...

    If all that comes to fruition then “Wow!”, but I got an uneasy impression that all is not well towRds the end of next week, hope I’m wrong.
