I keep reading thread after thread about lighting differences, since I've recently changed my lighting from a 4 foot 4 bulb T8 fixture to a 4 foot 4 bulb T5 HO. I took a pic of my sold as Spatulata, and thought maybe it would help show people the different growth habits of this plant with different lighting.

The plant has grown well under both lights producing lots of dew, and just sprouting it's sixth flower stalk in about three months.

The outer most green growth was under the T8. While the very compact, and very brightly colored inner rings are currently growing under T5 lighting. This plant has spent about an equal amount of time under each light, give or take a week.

This is the same plant right before the change to T5.

If I put this in the wrong forum category, please feel free to move it to the appropriate place.

Thanks!

It does look more tokoiensis than spatulata.
I grow them under 6 T5 36watt, with mylar surrounding them, and they go dewy and red all over
