    sterilizing peat?

    I want to kill any insects in the peat before I transplant my venus fly traps and bring them inside. I want to put them under lights. When I water in new peat, I'm getting all kinds of bugs. I would rather not have any pests.

    Need help quick

    My F.V.T. have black spot fungus. I am applying fungicide, but I'm not getting good plant coverage. The spray just seems to bead off my plants. What can I use to get the plant covered. Is a thach spreader ok of V.F.T.s? It is suppose to make it stick to the plant.

    Survey on Member Religious Preferences

    I am a new Christian, but I must add, what about the Bible being rooted in history backed by archaeological findings. If I'm not mistaken what archaeological facts have been founded by Joseph Smith's claims? And corrrect me if I'm wrong, for example, a claim that Christ appeared to the North...

    4100k vs. 6500k

    I upgraded to 6500k vs. the 4100k.  What results can I expect to see with my VFTs.  I am using a total of six lights with 2,700Lumes each and a co2 reactor.  With the 4100k, I seemed to get good color but growth was very slow.  However a co2 reactor seemed to help some.  I hope these lights will...

    searching for the best T8s.

    I'm looking for 4tf T8s in a 5500k-6500k with high lumens in the 2800-3000 range or better. Can anyone suggest a name brand? I'm not having much luck.

    Amazing

    I have three RD vfts and I have never had a hard time getting them to turn completely red. Size is also as good as my GD. Although I did get them from PFT. Maybe I was lucky.

    anyone notice a differnce?

    I was just wondering what people like best for their V.F.T.s and Dews. Is one easier to use over another? What are the + & - of each?

    One more lighting question

    Thanks Tony for the reply. One more question and I'll quit. My fluorescent hoods do not have a reflector edge to lay on the glass. Can I set the flourescent bulbs directly onto the glass or will it create a hot spot on them and burn them out? If I can't do this, I will have to make something to...

    Bigger is better?

    speaking of the chimney effect, has anyone made one of the half black, half white bladed fans to move air around. Just an idea. I'm not sure it would spin fast enough, but then maybe it would.

    One more lighting question

    I think I understand what the numbers mean now. Correct me if I am wrong. 1.You want the highest C.R.T. rating you can get. 2.You want the highest Lumens you can get. 3. you want a Kelvin rating of at least 5000-5500k 4. have one or two of the bulbs that have a Kelvin rating of...

    Kelvin rating?

    would a 5000-5500 rating be the closest to the Carolinas?

    Bigger is better?

    Very nice Homer! Thanks for the pic, that was the setup I was shooting for. Did you make your own tank stand? I am in search of a nice looking simple stand that has a small price tag. Also, how big did you make the vent holes? Your setup looks great, only one thing, I don't see any VFTs!

    Bigger is better?

    Well, I decided to go to a 55 gallon tank on it's side. I'll get more plant space and the lights will be closer. Thanks tp the person that posted the idea. I'll put plexy glass on the front and I'll have a total of six 4-ft. florescence lights on the top. I am still looking for a neat way to...
