non submersable. do a search on ebay for 3w led, theres loads. yes there are some submersable types at much less than £15. but they dont need to be submersed.

Do you still have light cycles?

you can do if you wish, the great thing with led is they are light wavelengh specific (they have a very narrow wavelenght) so can be used decrative or aimed at living flora

Let's update this bitch.

Some of you may know I work with glass. The handbrake has been on at me for AGES, started in November when I said I would make her something in lieu of buying her a birthday present

I want a plant terrarium, she said. We have a back garden, I said.

Anyway fast forward some months and a trip to the garden centre yesterday to get some fairly hardy ferns (she's a terrible carer, managed to kill a cactus).

Only trouble is it leaks a fair bit so had to sit it in a terracotta dish which I packed with dirt and sphagnum. Works well though, has a nice condensation-clear cycle. I wanted to start the whole lot from spores but she is impatient. Not sure how long they'll survive.

looks cool

Very cool, though I'm not sure you'll be able to grow very much bud in it.

I'm assuming that anyone under 40 is only into gardening for practical reasons.

I've heard that it's a waste of time and money, as well as being a lot of effort when you can just buy it from someone else who wants to go to prison for it. He said he'd rather be caught for possession than cultivating.

You've been misled.

I suppose it depends on how good of a gardener you are.

I'm scrapping my last comment as it was vacuous even by my standards. Quote instead:
