A few weeks ago I posted some photos of my small pot of seed grown plants. I've grown them on a windowsill for a few years now, but shortly after my first post I started growing them under my LED grow lamp. Just look at the difference in color now. Everything seems to be turning red. Not just the traps, but the entire plants ? None of the plants are traditional red plants except the Maroon monster x maroon Monster.

The first two photos are my original photos. The next two photos are the same plants now. Grown 12 hours a day under the LED's.

@DTDream18:
May I know the specification of the LED you are using? I just got 2 18W mica LED lights, 3200 lm with 6500K. How high should I hang these on top of the plants?

thank you
