Hey all,

In my intro post I said I would post a quick few pics. Here is my smallest setup in the living room. This is the little place I like to call my ER (Emergency Room) dish. You can spot the 2 VFT's from Lowe's. The other 4 are smaller and I picked them up a couple of days ago at a local nursery. They are, by far, the nicest store bought VFT's I have come across in my neck of the woods. They are even planted with the correct moss! So I was excited to see a better quality being sold in the area.

I will re-pot the Lowe's traps as soon as my NZ moss comes in from Matt and Leah. I have had the larger one for a few weeks, the other one I only picked up about a week ago. It was flowering and looked pretty rough. It is actually doing a little better.

I have a single LED over this little set up. It is a Kessil H380 Spectral Halo II. It has selectable "grow - purple" and "flower - magenta" modes. It is a full spectrum light with true UV, which is unique to Kessil's. You will see a lot of LED's advertising UV, but it is only the color spectrum "405, 450, etc". Not true UV like the sun emits.

Click pics to make them a bit larger.
