So all my "indoor" CPs are grown under my 4 T5 HO lights. My cephs have started putting out redder pitchers and my het x minor pitchers that I received as plain green have new pitchers with red rims and the red line down the back.
Now I did have a d. Capensis under there as well and moved it for a few days to a windowsill (can't remember why) and notice it's new leaf was much redder than the rest. So I took my light measurer, lo and behold the windowsill is so much more light than the T5s!
Why is that and should I be growing my plants in the sun rather than under the light? I never imagined the T5s being so much weaker.
Here is under the windowsill
This is under T5 HOs
