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.

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.

That's not nice to call Shipping Jeff such a name

Shipping Jeff is ok in my book :lol: the many orders I've made have always been great.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
