Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

Stunning! The color on the Cephalotus and Heliamphora is great!

Just a quick photo update. Some of the plants are the ones I took pictures of early on, and others are just to show some of the other plants growing under this light. I will be building a new terrarium next weekend (hopefully), so I wanted to get new photos since the environment is going to change.

Yeah, they all look great!

Thanks KissMegan and Matt!

It has been impressive thus far with the results I have been seeing in terms of growth and coloration .

The plants look amazing! I am also using a LED grow light for my plants indoors. I have a 300w LED from MarsHydro and am having great results. Plants are coloring up very nice and the sundews producing a ton of dew. The Sarracenia love it, purpurea especially getting extremely deep red.

However, I have mine about 10-14" from the canopy.

That Chimantensis....

In a case of oddly good luck, I have flowers starting on two different Heliamphora . This is the first time I have had any Heliamphora flower, so it will take a bit of experimenting based on the information I have found to collect the pollen and cross pollinate them. At least I won't have to self pollinate them like I was thinking I would when the H. minor started flowering.

That H. Minor looks really nice!

That's awesome! Your h. Minor are so dark!!!!

do you have pictures of your grow space? I"m curious how much area can this light fixture cover?

Mine completely covers a 30in×24 in surface area

Thanks! I'm kinda wondering what an H. minor "burgundy black" would look like under this light seeing as that is just a regular clone.

Currently I have mine covering a 2'x4' space at 24" for the fixture height above the pots, but it is listed as being capable of covering a 4'x4' area at 24". I doubt it would have any issues covering that amount of area adequately.

+1 that thing is powerful!
Saw a video on this light compared to several other of the better LEDs and this one did the best in all aspects of what they tested lights for or whatever haha
