Lifting content without permission is not cool. You should at least link back to the original site.

I added a redirect to http://www.spacebuckets.com/hb/ but it does not seem to very working for everyone. Very frustrating day...

I've put a simple HTML page for the moment :)

All plants are welcome, the community does not judge species. For us plants are just plants, we want to become "a melting pot of photosynthesis enthusiasts", as per the bucket manifesto. There are many cannabis growers but that is because it is a very popular plant around the world (and very expensive too).

I've grown a lot of different plants in my buckets, including thyme, dill, basil, hot peppers, cherry tomatoes, strawberry and chives :)

Hope you give it a try, it is a very fun hobby.

That is awesome, I'd like to see some pictures of your bucket and plants! I'm growing Hot Peppers at the moment, just had my first harvest. I've also grown a lot of cherry tomatoes, I'm a fan.

Thanks for the honest feedback! I appreciate it a lot.

I'm commited to AJAX for the site, I think it can work great after many iterations and tunings. The site has over 50% of mobile traffic and tries to feel like a webapp on those devices. It has been very interesting to see that percentage grow.

Animations in CSS are pretty hard to get right, I see what you mean. I'm not a fan of the fade either. I didn't know about the shortcuts, I'll definitely look into that.

Cheers from Argentina!

You should check out the resources at http://www.reddit.com/r/HandsOnComplexity, there is a lot of great knowledge about plant lighting there!

I'm working on that :) The site is a constant work in progress, like a bucket.

Without Javascript you disable AJAX, basically. Its a good thing that it still works, but it needs to be faster overall.
