    I bought some cheapish grow lights off Ebay, chinese stuff. TBH I've stopped using them as I'm not convinced they are safe, they have strange three pin plugs with no fuse.

    I remember from when I was a kid, in the videogame minecraft, if you right click with the bonemeal on a small tree it will instantly become a mature 10m tree. So use it carefully!!!
