Rookie1 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 It sleeps next to me in bed Dang, wish I'd have thought have that one. My gal would love that line. Of course she's pretty impressed I grow succulents, she thinks it makes me sensitive or something. Link to comment

StevieT Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Almost ready to go back outside. 1-2 more weeks to be safe. New leaf growth coming in nicely where older leaves dropped off. Got some good tips from my fav. greehouse on how to do this better next year. Link to comment

StevieT Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Weather is favorable for the week so it's time to go back outside. Left the lime tree for a little bit longer. Tropical thingy got gigantic under the crappy Fluval LEDS. Link to comment
jabudda Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Just curious what lighting schedule you had the Radions on, percent, number of hours...etc. I had a aquarium disaster so I have 2 extra Radions & plan to hang 1 from the ceiling so you can't see the fixture. Plan to grow some orchids..top shelf..succulents middle shelf & fern on bottom shelf. Link to comment
StevieT Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 It's not the best light for plants but it kept them alive for the winter. Just got them back in there for year # 2. I let the photo period go pretty natural over the winter. Ramp up at 7am ramp down at 4 pm. But they get a full blast for 6-7 hrs. I go longer in spring to wake em up. It worked well everything was bigger than ever this past year. Except for the lime tree that thing is a Lemon..... produces small shit letting it die off done with it. More reds in the radions will help. IME yourplants don't need a ton of light and are much smaller than what I was doing so maybe don't go full blast since they are much closer as well. Trimmed down and in their 2016 inGrow house. Link to comment
jabudda Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Nice...thank you for the information......I will buy a few inexpensive orchids & see what happens. I had a aquarium disaster with the 70g so wanted to use the Radions for something. I'm tiling nearly my residence so the other one makes a great work light. LoL I have to install an outlet up high...mounted the LeD about 8 feet up. I'm going to subway tile the closet for better light reflection & keep things easy to clean up when I mist the orchids.

jabudda Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Here is the result of 8 hours. I set the ballast on the top, used a wing nut with long screw to keep the 2x6 base from moving & the ballast dropping. Used 2x2's, sistered 2 together for extra support & used a lot of L Brackets. The width of the closet was around 8 inches so it made for a tight work area....lol Had to flip the picture around.....for some reason it was sideways. Link to comment
jabudda Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Here is some tiling pictures.....I will be having fun grouting this winter. 2nd picture....future home of 70 inch led tv...Sonos soundbar, PS4 & Sonos subwoofer. 3rd picture...around 1600 subway tile in a 5x7 room with 10 foot ceiling, I have to touch up the corners this winter. Last one....ManCave Link to comment
jabudda Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Daytime shot.....it will be an interesting experiment.....I set the light for 12 hours & used the default radion setting for planted aquarium. Living room accent wall picture....but if they are all tiled....wouldn't they all be accent walls? Link to comment
