Not my fault you always want to buy everything. Tell you what; if you can resist and come to my place with no cash you get a surprise plant but if you come ready to clean me out again then you only get the oil fern ( Microsorum thailandicum) for free. Besides I'm open to trades Cheers

I've found the white led lights aren't products enough red and blue spectrums for the plant growth. Dose anyone else has the same problem?

I've been using 100w full spectrums COB led grow lights (only using 70w from the wall) and I've been quite happy with the results so far. It's the coolest grow light I've ever tested, only producing 26'-27'C. All the other kind of grow lights are producing far too much heat for my climate.

While I can't speak for the LEDs that other people use, you can see the proof in the pudding in my pics. T5HO are great and I use them with other plants but I definitely see better growth with these LEDs. The bonus for me is the LEDs don't heat things up like the T5HOs do.

Can you take a photo of the led lights so I can see what spectrums they are using?

Two of the fixtures are this one, The third fixture is a red one and looks almost the same but has an additional spike between approx. 620nm and 670nm.

Thanks for the table. I can see there's a lot of blue and that's why they are doing so well in growth but not a lot of red so the neps won't produce the nice red colors.

I'm sure LED's and other new tech. will take over but right now the ol' T5HO's are good for me.

I'm sticking with T8's, LED's would cost way to much to illuminate my entire collection. Though I have high hopes for the future of LEDS, I use them for my reef tanks since they don't over-heat and high quality ones are brighter than any T8, T5 or T5HO I've ever seen.

The amazing thing about T5HO's is that they seem brighter than the sun for my succulents, by the effect on them, not the actual energy.

When I die I want to be reincarnated as your pet turtle - that is one stellar looking show piece setup!
