led

Hi all, I have recently set up a 40 gallon terrarium, mostly for growing mini orchids, but I would like to add a CP into the mix. Here are my specs: 77F(25C) daytime temp, 59F(15C) night. I am setting up a cooling system so the tank will not go above 77 even in summer, and will always have at...

I've had these leds laying around from my old reef tank, and I was curious how well if at all they would grow plants. Each unit has 2 channels, a mostly white channel and a blue channel that are adjustable from 0-100%. I have one set to 20% white and the other 20% blue ( I know, will most likely...

Hi all, I have a division of Max. schunkeana (the nearly black orchid species) that I can offer for trade for a Heli division. This species is quite adaptable and has done well for me in intermediate to warm conditions (should probably do ok growing cool as well). It's a mini-small grower that...

Okay so everything finally arrived on Wednesday, after taking a day to set up everything I'm pretty much set up, just wanted to share the results with people here. Okay so anyway I bought the Lvjing High Power 120w Led Plant Grow Light Panel because of the lower price and the good reviews...

I was given this nice little specimen recently, and it had colored up nicely under LED lights. Is this a D. spatulata or one of the similar looking ones? Thanks for any help or comments.

Hey all... My wife said I can turn our 3 season porch into a greenhouse. It has sliding glass doors on 3 sides and a wood framed roof. I would remove the roof leaving only the framing, install Polycarbonate on the roof joist. Add fans and a furnace. It has a concrete floor but I think I would...

In light of some of the experimentation going on with leds, I thought this http://www.championlighting.com/product.php?productid=73002&cat=1592&page=1 was a fixture which deserves a look. They are among the most ubiquitous low priced led fixtures which are suitable for reef aquaria. The link is...

Hey guys I just picked up this 36 inch LED for 60 bucks here. http://www.aquatraders.com/LED-Aquarium-Lighting-Beamswork-Pent-HI-Lumen-p/56366p.htm. Hopefully my cephs will like it. I'll be running it for 12 on 12 off and it's about 7 inches from the plants it has 5700 lumens and 6500k LEDs. I...

I am considering purchasing an LED fixture, recently someone posted a link to a seller here, and I cannot seem to find it. Or I found the link but it did not lead to the advert I saw before. I wondered into an aquarium shop yesterday, and saw some interesting fixtures but they were going for...

i purchased these two together and assembled it in my old fixture made originally for a 125w compact flourescent bulb. http://www.rapidled.com/12-led-plug-n-play-retrofit-kit-dimmable/ http://www.rapidled.com/6-x-12-premium-heat-sink-and-enclosure/ i had them send me 6 Warm white 4 neutral...

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...

Here's a couple pics of my Ceph 'Emu Point' that I got from RSS a few months back. Thanks Randall! Anyway two days ago I went out in the morning to find that I had forgotten to bring my Ceph in the previous evening. I've been keeping it in full sun almost since I got it, and wanted to do so for...

I recently acquired a leaky 2.6 gallon Top Fin aquarium (can't say no to free containers) and am wondering if it can be put to use somehow. I've searched far and wide on the web but all I find is information on nano planted tanks and the like. My first thought was some species of Cyricosmus...

Hello everyone my name is Nathan and I have been growing CPs for 10+ years now. I have been getting excited about carnivorous plants since I was a kid and I love checking out web forums and seeing what everyone is up to. I come from an engineering background and love to combine my excitement...

I've started my first ever planted tank. I recently got rid of my 55 gallon, so this is just made of a ten gallon I had lying around. A member here on the forums was generous enough to send me several plants to start up. It's a dirt bottom tank with the LED equivalent of 40 watts of light. I'm...

I remember seeing a post a few years back where Av8tor1 experimented with LED lighting and showed remarkable results IMO. Has anyone else experimented with this since? Store bought (led grow panel) or DIY? Maybe Av8tor1 can pitch in if he's continued this experiment through the years. Here's...

HEY folks! S0 I had a thread a little while ago about my Biolapse project where I am filming timelapse clips of carnivorous plants as they grow and develop. I had received a lot of great tips and advice, and the plants appear to be healthy and they are currently taking a break after a full...

my saccarenia is turning red. is this a good sign or not? Thanks! It was on indoor with highlight using LED. now I transferred it to a window. I also wonder what possible species is this. thanks!

How did you get involved with neps? Do you have a favorite? if so, what draws you to that plant? My fascination with Nepenthes started long before I had the means to care for one. I had a VFT and a purple pitcher plant, and was reading up on their care, and in doing so, read about the care of...
