Here is an article (link after our commentary) that will give you instructions and helpful tips for setting up your very own versatile propagation system! The writer, Gayla, gives us her previous experience and teething troubles for this kind of lighting set-up and the ingenious ways that she has solved these problems. The article is a real gift to save others from making the same mistakes so we thought we should share it with you!

A lighting system like the one described can be used to grow plants from seed and to provide warmer, brighter conditions for those that need them. It will give full protection from frost and give you greater scope for propagating plants that are non-native – It could be ideal for cacti and succulents in a cold wet climate.

There is plenty of info about materials and prices in the article, which is very helpful, but to be honest not a lot for connecting the lights and heaters. It’s ultra-important to stay safe when making any project that has both water and electricity involved – they must stay separate! The set-up used here has ideas for doing just that. The use of boot mats is a stroke of genius! If you’re not sure about how to do the wiring safely, please get some advice from a qualified electrician before you begin and ask them to check your wiring set-up before connecting anything up to the mains electricity.

If you already grow your own vegetables – or would like to start – a lighting and heating system allows you to plant seeds much earlier than it’s possible to do outdoors, or even in an unheated greenhouse. When the weather is warmer outside, your seedlings will be well established before planting out so they will be ready to harvest earlier in the year – you’ll be able to grow a wider variety of crops by adding some that wouldn’t otherwise have time to ripen during a normal outdoor growing season.

Plants grown under cover will grow differently from those outside – the growth is quicker but often weaker so they will be more easily damaged by wind, rain or strong sunlight when they are planted out. Here’s an important tip to help with this transition: the problem can be solved if your precious seedlings and young plants are given time to adjust to differences in temperature before going into the ground – the way to achieve this is to put them outdoors in their trays during the daytime for a week or two in a partly sheltered spot, bringing them back in every night before finally planting them in the garden.

Note that using a system like this will increase the humidity in your property so you may need to take steps to avoid an excess that causes mildew or mould growth. Adequate ventilation is needed (or you may need to run a de-humidifier at times) but there are plenty of benefits for gardeners here! Happy growing!

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.

Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:
