fluorescent

http://terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120193 Thanks to many of you, my obsessive perfectionism has been sated. I have finally been able to get an estimate as to how my grow-rack and situation will look like. However, I know Highland/Intermediate Nepenthes should do alright in this type...

100 GPD RO filter for trade OR month old 32 gig Itouch (third gen), want 24 in" light Hey all, I'm looking for a nice light for a 24 inch long terrarium. I'm looking for compact fluorescent (NOT the spiral energy saver bulbs.) or a T5 HO fluorescent fixture. Used is fine (expected.) IDEALLY I'd...

My N. spectabilis is doing pretty good after the move inside, im quite happy with how its growing under the two 8 foot fluorescent lights... Here is a lower pitcher just opening up from the plants rather large basal... and an upper pitcher from the main vine...its got the retard little lid...

I got a Sarracenia NOID at Wholefoods for 6 bucks on sale. looks nice. I was wondering can the rest period as short as 8 weeks? I live in Brooklyn NY and I was thinking I could keep it outside my window November and December when the temperature is above 32 F and then take it back inside and...

I need a way to up the temp in my terrarium. It's hovering around 66-68 during the day. My current set-up is a 55 gal tank w/ a glass top. I'm lighting it w/ a Coralife 4' lamp that has two of the four slots filled w/ 65W 6700K compact fluorescent lamps, the other two slots are empty. I've read...

I'm doing this with two VFT's I got from Lowe's in September (pics attached - they looked a lot worse when I got them, but they weren't terrible). I was going to let them go dormant outside with all my others - but I'm curious, so I'm thinking of over-wintering them with my seedlings and leaf...

It arrived dormant, which is fine. I planted it outside in a pot with other VFT's that are going dormant and marked it so I would remember which was which since they're all ugly in the Spring. I resisted the temptation of taking leaf pullings of a dormant B52 and putting them under my...

I did some research on the best times of year to do a leaf pulling and it seems there are two "better" times of year - early spring and in fall before dormancy. If done in fall, uprooting the plant is risky so you can try to do a leaf pulling by holding the rhizome in place with your thumb - I'm...

I got some seeds in early September and they arrived crushed. There was one whole seed, one cracked, and the rest were dust. I got a second batch a week later. With everything planted, I waited. 2 days after I planted the second batch the whole seed AND the cracked seed both germinated. 9...

On Aug 10, I received 3 U. humboldtii plants growing together in a pot of live LFS. I separated them into their own pots - 2 into 100% live LFS and the other in a peat, live LFS, sand, aps mix. Since the repotting, all 3 plants have grown well - put up new leaves & 2 of the 3 have also put up...

I'm sure you all have better setups and have seen much better, but I'm pretty excited about what I've got so far. It's a 6' bookshelf with mostly books & dvds, but one shelf I've dedicated to my VFTs. I bought a emergency blanket and cut it to fit inside the shelf to help boost some of the...

This post is essentially a copy of my blog entry here: Photos of my plants August 20th, 2009 So my wife and I finally made the move to Ashland, Oregon. Since getting settled in, I've got my new greenhouse set up! I'm very excited about that. It gives me plenty of room to expand my collection...

I am interested in growing nepenthes, sundews, and VFTs indoors under artificial light. I have grown other types of plants in the past under two 40W fluorescent tubes, using planters exposed to the open air with water trays beneath. I was wondering if this type of setup will work for some types...

I went to Lowes to purchase a fluorescent lighting unit. I just really only plan on using it for germinating sundews and perhaps growing a few plants through the winter. The tank is just 10" x 20". I ended up purchasing a twin light 2' T8 fixture. The bulbs I plan to use are 92 color rating...

When I was new to the hobby, and scarfng up every trading post offering possible, all I did was sprinkle seeds on the slightly wet surface of pipette containers. I shut the lid and placed at a window sill. In about 3 weeks, most of the time, seeds germinated. For the past year or so, I've been...

So I've read the lighting stickies and searched the forums, but still find myself with a few big questions. I plan on just using a small aquarium tank (2'x1' max) just for growing a few drosera and sarracenia. As for my questions: A) If I use say 2 ft fluorescent bulbs that match the 5000k...

I just made a bunch of flytrap cuttings. I was wondering if they would be best kept inside under a fluorescent light, or outside (full sun, or partial sun). I live in St. Louis, we get some pretty hot summers (semi-long stretches of 90+ temps), and I'm worried about the cuttings boiling. I...

I picked this light up from Lowes yesterday. I couldn't find any info on the internet about it, but I did find some about the bulb. The light is a Utilitech L-90 Fluorescent Floodlight, takes a 65 watt bulb. The box says it puts out 4100 lumens. (sorry for the cell phone pics) I bought...

Does anyone know exactly how much the typical fluorescent 2 bulb fixtures that everyone uses add to the electric bill? The one and only shelf I'm using on my grow rack is jam packed, and I would really like to put more lights on another shelf. The only problem is, my step dad is convinced that...
