    I Got Mine!

    After burning out 2 sylvania gro lights in a 5 day period I've bought both a 50 watt halogen bulb and a twisted  24 watt fluorescent bulb that claims to give out 100 watts of light and lasts for 7 years.  At this time the fluorescent bulb is still in its packaging and the 50 watt halogen is...

    I Got Mine!

    The family's starting to perk up a bit - new traps are beginning to unfold on all 4 members. I will pick up some Superthrive later tonight or sometime tomorrow. How often can I use it? Can I just put a drop in a gallon of distilled water, dump some of the new gallon in my bowl and dump some more...

    Grow Lightbulb

    I've been using a Sylvania 50 watt Spot-Gro indoor flood light between 12 and 14 hours a day for my VFTs. The first light lasted about 2 days. The replacement lasted maybe 3 days. Gonna go for another replacement tomorrow although I doubt that they'll be as cheerful replacing it this time around...

    I Got Mine!

    ummmm...maybe transplanting wasn't such a hot idea after all. Nothing has been happening since my last post except the family looks a bit more wilted than they did a few days back - no new growth - nada. Hopefully they'll come outta the shock and learn to enjoy their nice, new, big home. Maybe...

    I Got Mine!

    Hmmm... I jumped from being a "newbie" to a "member" after only 6 posts.  Are there magic numbers that tie in to status changes?  Anywayz...Against all advice on these forums - I've transplanted.  Put my 3 plants into an 8" ceramic pot that is glazed inside and out.  But it wasn't 3 plants - it...

    I Got Mine!

    "Actual plant may vary from photo" Yeah - mine varied-----a total of about 20 traps on 2 Red Dragons! Much nicer than your sample pic and much, much, much nicer than the stuff at the hardware store. Thanx guys!

    Howdy to y\'all...

    ...from Ft. Worth Texas!  I've developed a sudden interest as of late to VFTs - bought one at a hardware store recently and have 2 Red Dragons on order from this site.  I've been lurking these forums and other related web sites enough to know about proper watering ( the instructions on my plant...
