All my plants seem to like the light, they are all turning red, the drosera have put up more dew, and even the neps seem to like it. But my largest Heli got burned and doesn't seem to like it. All my other plants, including or helis, are fine. Huh. :?:

Sweet they'll get very red, very quick (speaking from experience). Your other plants will redden up too.

If your LED has UV in it then yes it can burn plants. That's why I avoid LED's that are listed with UV and IR. Not saying UV is bad for them just not sure what's a good wave and strength. I stay away from IR because you'll need special grow glasses when taking care of your plants or installing different lights you can switch between.

That's odd-I just recently replaced my T5ho fixtures that I had over my Heli's with the Marshydro LED and so far none have had any adverse reactions to the stronger lights. If anything, they're responding with repeated flowering, larger nectar spoons and much deeper color.
What/which Heli of yours was burnt?
