lighting... LED?

[Carol 83]

I went with white LED’s mainly for the nicer working environment of white light.

I like the pink. I'm sure my elderly neighbors wonder what I'm up to.

I am currently building a 6500k white led light bar into the lid of an old aquarium to place my ficus in to be able to keep the humidity higher then the room itself and aswell to provide it with extra light besides the light coming in trough the glass i know how the tree grew two winter seasons indoors so i hope to see a big difference this year!

Yes consider that part done
Now cleaning the glas fill up the bottom with some gravel and put it in its place and put the ficus in !

I feel like a big dumass!

I did not measure the tree's height ?
And guess what it doesnt fit lol



Soooo
Time to get creative again ?


So thats better
Now i also made another layer of transparent pexiglass wich i had laying around to close the 4 sides to below the lid
But no photo of that yet
Still got some more work to do before its finished ?

I dim the white and red (bloom) lights on my LED setup. I think the red ones are more likely to scorch with the infrared spectrum. My blues(growth) however are cranked up all the way and I get better growth durning my indoor season. Nice reddish growth on my nerifolias.
