Does it need to grow in the house or are you talking about hanging bunches of dried (or fresh) herbage about? Smell and taste are very subjective judgements. What kind of smell do you want? Do you want some specific type of aroma or just anything strong enough to cover the reek of the cat's tray or the used bong on the coffee table? David |

Lilac bush, outside, under your opened fine screened window, nice weather only. Could try Orchids for indoors, good luck keeping them alive. Expensive cut flowers. For winter, not exactly in garden category, but I like the smell of fresh baked bread. Chocolate Chip cookies a good second... Homemade apple pie... One thing about nice smelling plants... They attract bugs. Even indoors. Keep a nice supply of indoor bug spray. -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |

Try Winter flowering Honeysuckle. Great for outside or cut flowering sprigs in the winter - will fill the room with scent. Good for bees (outside!!) because it flowers when not much else is!!
Summer Jasmine - beautiful tiny white flowers with a delightful aroma but - plant it in a pot on solid ground. Mine was in the ground and it took over!! Thus the Jungle girl user name!! It can be grown indoors too! I hope it helps! |

You could plant jasmine or honeysuckle under a window and grow it on a trellis. If the air outside is fairly still and warm, the air will be heavily perfumed and you'll have the option of closing your window if it gets to be too odiferous for you. -- Carrot cake counts as a serving of vegetables. |

Anybody out there use grow-lamps?

Hi everybody I'm new to these forums but I've been lurking for a while and they look really informative. I live in the Cairngorm Mountains, in Aberdeenshire, in Scotland, so the gardening conditions can be challenging, to say the least Because light levels here aren't great in the spring, I've always started my seedlings off under grow-lamps. Does anybody have any experience of the new LED grow-lamps, or do most people use the usual high-intensity bulbs or fluorescent lights? Any advice or opinions will be gratefully received! I have no experience with the new LED lamps. However, I use low 15W T-5 grow lights, just two feet long, cost $15 per light. I have eight lights. I have one 72 cell or two 48 cell trays for each light. Seems to work very well. However, I have not tried other higher powered lights. I also have southern facing windows. I have notice my plants grow better with the lamps over the windows alone. In spring I only get about 10 hours max of sunshine though the windows. Many days in the spring it is very cloudy restricting the sunshine even more. So far I see no need for the high powered lights. I just put the lights closer to the plants. I use a small chains with small hooks to manually raise and lower the lights. -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |

Does anybody have any experience of the new LED grow-lamps, or do most people use the usual high-intensity bulbs or fluorescent lights? Any advice or opinions will be gratefully received! I use F32T8 fluorescent 2-lamp fixtures, just a few inches above my seedlings. They work great until the little plants outgrow them. I'll start my first peppers in about a month, and tomatoes about April 1. For big plants, I currently have a 400W HPS security floodlight in my basement on a timer for about 12 hours a day. The plants do OK, but it looks ugly and uses a lot of juice. I'm about to replace it with a 4-lamp F54T5HO fixture that I can hang from the ceiling and adjust the height. http://relightdepot.com/fixtures/high-bay-fixtures/t5ho-high-bay/4-lamp-t5ho-full-body-high-bay-enhanced-reflector.html We're approaching the season when red spider mites appear out of nowhere and kill half my big plants.

Does anybody have any experience of the new LED grow-lamps, or do most people use the usual high-intensity bulbs or fluorescent lights? Any advice or opinions will be gratefully received! I have two 400W HID lamps, one high pressure sodium and one metal halide. In the fall I bring my non-hardy potted plants indoors and place the flowering plants under the hps (more red wavelength light) and the vegetative ones under the mh (bluer light). I also have a board with 4 twin 40W fluorescent fixtures bolted to it which I use for starting seedlings. High output fluorescents with horticultural tubes are excellent, but hid lamps are far easier to manipulate, take up less space and are, I believe, more electrically efficient. |

I found a 400w metal halide lamp at a sale a few years back and though it's more expensive to run it's another world compared to my old grow lamps. With the grow lamps the lights had to be so close to the plants that variations in seedling hight messed things up and when plants got bigger the lower leaves didn't get enough light. None of that with the pot farm light. No more spindley tomatoes. |

I live in the Cairngorm Mountains, in Aberdeenshire, in Scotland, so the gardening conditions can be challenging, to say the least Because light levels here aren't great in the spring, I've always started my seedlings off under grow-lamps. Does anybody have any experience of the new LED grow-lamps, or do most people use the usual high-intensity bulbs or fluorescent lights? I replaced a metal halide lamp with a (very expensive) high intensity LED light which uses a lot less power. My seed starting area is roughly 3' x3' (or 1m x1m) and lined with reflective mylar. I added a second, smaller, and less expensive LED panel near the back wall of the box part way through the process. My plants were much stockier, most likely do to the lower heat. This winter I hung the smaller panel in the window where I overwinter my orchid, in place of the small florescent fixture I was using. It's doing better than ever. My very expensive light: http://www.superled.net/ledgrowlights.html My less expensive light: http://shop.sunshine-systems.com/pro...c?productId=10 Just be advised that the plants will look strange under these lights, almost black. My verdict: they work, are admirably suited to growing in a small area that won't fit long florescent fixtures or are prone to overheating with high-output metal halide lamps. But they are very pricey to buy. On the other hand, they use far less power than any other option and should suffer only minimal output loss over a very long life, with no need for replacement lamps. -- Pat in Plymouth MI "Vegetables are like bombs packed tight with all kinds of important nutrients..." --Largo Potter, Valkyria Chronicles email valid but not regularly monitored |
