Well i had to replace the bulbs in an 8 foot fixture, and last year taking pics under those lights was a pain because of the color of the bulbs...now i can take photos without an awkward purple tint....

Are you growing under the 8 ft lamps? How many bulbs? Everyone told me not to use those back whenIi was planning my grow racks. Not that I'm unhappy with my 4 ft T5 HOs but I was gonna use the 8 footers and it was like I'd brought up the worst idea ever...
 
i have an 8 footer above the bigger plants, i did it last year as well only the bulbs were 20 year old grow bulbs (and the plants loved it) so i think with new bulbs this year, and more lumens and kelvin than the previous bulbs, that they should be fine until spring next year as well....
the tank has 2 four foot fixtures...
 
Nice shot of the under lid glands. Your spectabilis is really spectacular, but you know this already.

truncata x trusmadiensis..... Soo great!
 
Thanks Dex :)

N. ovata (the SAME pitcher that opened up earlier in the year around march/april-ish these things last forever!)
