humidity

Friday I have the same grow tent arriving that is in this video. I really like the setup and am going to try to emulate it. My only concern is with lighting. I have a New Wave 44 and Sunblaze 22. I'm no expert so I can't really identify what fixtures he is using. My question is are my fixtures...

Here's my grow rack. Temps stay around 75 during the day and 55 at night, with 40 and 70% humidity respectively. Lit by an 8 tube 4 foot t5 HO system with 4 roseate and 4 6500k bulbs, a 4 tube 2ft T5HO with a 50/50 mix of 2700k and 6500k bulbs and 3 10w 3500k LED floodlights. Plants get 15-65k...

SO I bought this little Rafflesiana a few weeks ago, but Im becoming increasingly worried about the plant. It has a few dead leaves On the lower portion of the stem. I noticed 3 or 4 small fungal growths on the dead leaves, but I decided to check the lower stem as well, just to make sure...

[/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] I am a bit concerned with my ceph at the moment. The leaves and pitchers have been browning and dying off, which isn't that unusual but the young growth has also been doing that and new growth has all but stopped. The plant sits in a southern window in about 1/4" of...

I noticed that most website recommend that you give nepenthes at least a 14-16 hours light cycle in order to grow them properly. With that information, I ponder if anyone has exposed nepenthes to a more intense light cycle ? Say 20-24 hours a day , with little to no night cycle ? I am currently...

It really doesn't matter what media (in this case half silica sand and half coral sand) I use, it is always wet. That's because I keep my potted Mexican/equitorial Pinguicula in plastic trays, and I keep the water levels in the trays, near the top of the media levels in the pots. I do this...

Recently, my current highland chamber humidifier/misting system broke, and I need advice from successful growers about what I should replace it with. Specifically, I am looking for a system that puts out more of a fog than mist, to allow for higher humidity to be attained without all of the...

I can only write about what works for me in my particular conditions in the Pacific Northwest, results may vary for someone else. They are outside in full direct sun 8-10 hours a day throughout the growing season, from about April/May to October/November depending on outside temps. Outside they...

I'm going to be setting up a small greenhouse in my house in a few months for some highland Nepenthes. But, I have a few questions regarding how I'm going to set it up. Here's a link to the greenhouse I'm going to purchase...

Help, my new boss saw My TF calender and he wanted to have a vft for his office. I explained their requirements and the dormancy and he was crushed. His next request then was a cp that he could grow under a light in his office. Before I try to convince him to get a small tank to grow...

Hi All I need some advice please - I have some seedlings in a terrarium which id like to move into the greenhouse. what should I be considering or keeping in mind with the move? They are growing in sealed bags so the humidity is very high - but I would keep them in the bags in the GH. im...

Uhmmm, so for several hours the sibuyanensis sits in temperature between 95-100. It seems to be doing okay but I want to double check. I FINALLY bought a thermometer and hydrometer to put in the box. The humidity ranges between 60-90% all the time. I thought highlanders can only do up to 95...

I recently bought Malleola seidenfadenia from a seller on eBay. The plant isn't doing well. The seller told me the condition of the plant is the result of shipping. I suspect the seller didn't send a healthy and well cultured plant. Anyway, the plant is alive but has only two leaves. It's been...

Awaiting my new shipment of plants, I have been locked up in the house, quietly anticipating the shipment of a very prized plant. These are the events leading up to my greatest achievement in a 4 year conquest to finally acquire N. Hamata. The day started off with a cool breeze wafting in...
