I am so confused!

Hello All,

Ok I have a few questions... This may sound stupid to some but sorry not a rocket scientist here.. Just little old me.. :-)

Ok went on the web looking for heat mats.. Some say seedling heat mats which for size 48x20 is $63.13 dollars... Then the person who posted about the cables send a URL and I went there and theres is called a Fast grow mat.. 22x44 is $56.00 dollars... Stupid I know but are these the same thing??? Is a seedling heat mat the same as a fast grow mat????

Ok how about bulbs??? What is the diffrence about regular bulbs and others??? I have seen spot grow lights, Heat bulbs, Halogen reflector bulbs, and Fluorescent Lamps,also can you use one of these types of bulbs in a regular lamp/clip on type???

Also the plant I told you more then a month ago that my dog chewed well after reading alot of the posts I took the one out of the ground to check it and it had root rot... So I recut until nice white stuff came out and stuck it in water..LOL Wanted to try that anyway.... Funny thing is that there was a tiny tiny tip left maybe 3inches at most and I said what the heck go and plant it... now that is rooting... Who knows????lololol

I am sorry this is so long and maybe stupid but I still would like some answers if anyone can help me...

Thank you all,

Susan,Va.

Seedling heat mats and fast grow mats are most likely the same. Heating cables are different, we use those in the greenhouse. They are not for normal home use. I'm not sure what makes grow lights different, something about the light spectrum that they produce. Heat lights are completely different. I use those for my lizards. Not all of them even put out white light, many are red lights because they are left on 24/7. That's great about the little stem rooting. Goes to show that you can never give up as long as there's even a bit of living stem left : )

I am not really prepaired at this time so I think I better get on the ball.. I am using regular lights for extra heat so far so good I have seeds sprouting up which I thought I could never do.. :-) My husband may be going on strike and they are going day to day now.. I was trying to save money but I have spent allot on plants and cuttings and seeds and I dont want them to croke :-( I would not have bought If I known about this... Ok so maybe I would have gotten some.. :-(
The URL the person posted here seems to have the lowest prices.. I am going to check out what the shipping is for if that is really high there is a person on ebay selling one for a couple dollars more but free shipping... More then likely it is not the faster snail mail...LOL
Karyn how are you water stems going??? other one I put in waster yesterday looks pretty good is another part of plant the dog got that day...
Ok Thank you ...

Well it's not a diesel, but you could get a great Simplicity Conquest (even comes in 4wd now) with a snowblower, garden cart, Johnny bucket for less than $7500. It would be more than you really need to maintin 1 acre, but would last a long time. It also strips, since it sounds like your intersted in striping. I can't say enough abot the unit I own. I originally started with 3/4 acre to mow and my new property has about 1.5 acres of lawn. Sometimes I'll even mow the pastures with it if I'm too lazy to hook up my rotary mower on my compact tractor. The Simplicity is a real workhorse and I abuse the heck out of mine and it keeps on ticking. 1 more thing, you can get a nifty snowplow from Johnny products now.

I am so confused about my marriage

This phrase jumped out at me... "My husband loves me very much I know and would do anything to get me back" First off, what in the world makes you think your husband loves you very much? If he has abused you to the point of literally "driving you crazy" he probably does not love you at all. Of course he would 'do anything to get you back'...he is a control freak and wants to control you, that does NOT mean he loves you. Do you have any idea what your husband's personality disorder is? Borderline, Narcissistic, something else? If he is willing to and can get help for that...either through counseling or medication, you may have a shot, but this is really a problem that he needs to get fixed for himself. I know I've mentioned this on other posts, but be very cautious of marriage counseling. Your main problem isn't your marriage...it is his personality disorder and it should be addressed separately, probably with a psychiatrist. I've heard of many instances where abusers actually abuse, lie and degrade in marriage counseling sessions (many counselors are clueless) and also where these clueless counselors suggest even more control is given to the controller...which can back fire big time. Obviously, you may want to seek help or talk to someone too, but please don't be sucked into a bad counseling situation with your husband. His problem needs to be addressed and 'fixed' first and then you can work on your marriage. Obviously, I don't know how bad it is, but if "he" truly drove you to the point of a mental breakdown, I would think it's probably good riddance. Love may conquer all, but sadly I'm not seeing that he loves you.

It sounds to me like you have done the right thing up until now. I don't mean to sound presumptious, but it almost sounds like you want to do the right thing, but part of you wants permission to not do the right thing. I can understand where you are coming from. I have been in a similar situation a long time ago. I will say that the only way you will be able to move on is to break clean of the whole situation. If you and your husband end up splitting up, with you moving away, you don't need him to blame this guy for what was not going to work anyway. And you need to be able to leave with a clean conscience. If his wife told her father that you want her husband, she is noticing something that you were trying to repress. You were clearly giving off signals that she could read even though you were trying to do what was right and still stay near the man you care about. My advice, go to your new job and try to make a life for yourself there, break clean from the other man, you can let him know where you are going, but you may find out that with you not there for temptation, his marriage might settle down. Let things go the natural course with your husband. If it works out, good, if not then you have done what you can. You cannot in with good intentions, lead this man away from his wife. His decisions are his and so are the consequences. Do not put your life on hold for him. You need to take care of you and your child first. The rest will fall into place. Good luck with you situation. I hope you can make the best of what you have,

Hi Susan,

It was me that posted the URL. I just bought a greenhouse last weekend and am getting the heating cables for my newly rooted cuttings and possibly to try and root more over the winter. I posted that as it seemed to be the cheapest source I had come across for the cables and the ones I bought are each 48 feet long. I hope I didn't confuse to many people with it, sometimes I don't explain things to well. As far as the heat mats go, I don't know if there prices are good or not. I have so many newly rooted cuttings I figured heat mats were just going to get way to expensive so I decided to ty this route! Hope this helps clear a little of the confusion up.

Best wishes,
Jerri

Check out his guys setup on The Maui Plumeria Garedens web site. It's a cool way of doing multiple cuttings at once.
Just click on the link below.
