lights

<p>I'm very happy to be part of this forum. I had mentioned in my welcome thread that I was an avid saltwater and freshwater aquarist. I thought I would share a bit about my 90 gallon reef tank as I'm getting my feet wet in the world of CP</p><p>*</p><p>I started in the hobby not long ago back...

Hi all, I've been considering using LED lights. Are these strong enough for cps like Drosera, Nepenthes, and Heliamphora? http://www.ebay.com/itm/380792689599?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT...

Hello all! I haven't been very active on this forum, so this will be my first official contribution! So yesterday I recieved 10 Drosera Regia seeds from Petar Kostov. To those of you who do not know of Petar, he's a skilled grower from Bulgaria who specializes in Regia and Drosophyllum (in...

Well this is my first summer growing CP. Started with a VFT, now I have a Cephalotus on the way and a fresh Sarracenia that I just bought. For the winter, I will for sure need to have the pitchers brought inside as the deep winters will be too cold here in PA. I also need to be able to simulate...

Hello, I'd like to add more lighting to my indoor HL chamber as of right know I have a 4 tube T5HO fixture. It does its job but I'm interested in supplementing with some LED grow lights. What are you guys using and what brands and models do you recommend? I'd like to stick to the high quality...

I would like to ask, 1. What plants do you grow? 2. What setup are they in (terrarium inside, outside au naturel, outside in greenhouse, etc.)? 3. Artificial lights or sun, and the amount of hours directly exposed to the sun and/or bulb(s) 4. Potting mix (rough estimate... 1:1 peat: perlite...

Hey everybody, I've been researching ways to cool smaller areas like grow tents and chambers. I've read about mini swamp coolers (which obviously wouldn't work) wine chillers, modified chest freezers, mini AC units which pipe the air into a tent/chamber, etc. and I haven't yet found something...

I have been researching grow tents (http://www.ebay.com/itm/4x4x6-5Ft-100-Reflective-Mylar-Window-Grow-Tent-48x48x78-Hydroponic-Indoor-Room-/380737413640?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58a5b7e208) and was wondering what light do you need to cover a 4x4 area and grow the plants well? Thanks...

hello all, Im starting to grow some live sphagnum in my indoor grow shelf. I leave the lights on 24 hrs a day since im growing some sarracenia from seed. Will this affect the live sphagnum? or do they require a normal grow period?

GIVEAWAY Hi Everyone, I'm tired of freeloading off all you generous people so I'll take a turn & pitch in. I was digging around & found an extra can of sun that hadn't expired yet & thought what the hey I might as well share the love. I had an extra 10 seconds today & threw this together with a...

Last night I went into the basement to water my plants & found a spike pressed up against the glass. Hopefully it isn't damaged as it was directly below very hot lights. I know it's early but I was curious if any of the Nep wizards here could ID the gender?

I have a Pinguicula Planifolia that has suddenly developed an issue where the tips of its leaves are drying out. It still produces mucous elsewhere and has growth from the center of the plant. I grow this plant in a bowl with S. Psittacina and P. Lutea, those plants are healthy and have no such...

All, I recently made the conversion from my basic baker's rack set up to a grow tent. I made the decision due to limited space in the rack and wanting to have more control over the environment as a means to grow more difficult species. Hopefully this post may help others who are interested in...

I am looking to buy some growlights for some of my plants, as their windows do not seem to be providing enough light for them to grow as best as they can. I would like to use compact fluorescent lights. How do you know whether or not lights will provide adequate lighting for plants? Will these...

I've been officially growing carnivorous plants for over a year now. I am happy to say that I am finally ready to 'pay it forward' and do my first giveaway!!! What I have are two seed packets of Drosera burmannii (approximately over 100 seeds per packet). You can see a photo of the parent...

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone grows heliamphora under LEDs and how they color up. I read on the icps website that LEDs may not be the best choice for helis, I also read that plants like the deep red lights. I was thinking about doing an LED set up because you can put them on a panel of...

While upgrading my petiolaris terrarium I was confronted with the question of what was I going to do for lighting? This is what I came up with. The components were mostly purchased from Home Depot - egg crate grating, E27 (screw-in type) sockets and standard lamp cord and a plug. In addition the...

So my terrarium and outdoor pots look kind of bland, and I've always found orchids interesting. I noticed that they seem to have similar nutrient and soil requirements to CPs, so I was thinking of growing a few with CPs. I was thinking of a crane orchid for venus flytraps and sarracenia, and...
