So I feel like my flytraps have been under this yescom 225 panel enough to give some solid results of before and after, its really a night and day difference in terms of color! Keep in mind these are the blurple lights! I haven’t seen this deep of a red before! The pictures where they’re green are before and the redder are now, night and day difference im absolutely loving it

Nice! I was a strictly outdoor grower for years, but the weather here Maryland has been really crappy the past few years. Yescom panels saved my collection. I let some of my new cultivars skip dormancy and stay under lights this past winter. They looked amazing! I placed them outside the beginning of spring and of course they now look like poo. They can’t handle the up and down 90°/30° spring weather. The ones I kept inside (Alien-types and red traps) still look very nice. Red flytraps will be almost purple black under Yescoms. I have the blue/whites and am loving the results.

So that explains this then! look how dark it is!

I’ve had very similar results with the same type of lights. Yescom 225 blue red panels are not a joke. I’ve had the best results with these. Until the driver put on a light show of sparks. I woke up thinking someone lit a sparkler in the corner of the room, well it was worse. My yescom 225 led driver had gotten water on it from a leak in the window after a bad storm.

So do you leave the Blurple lights on them all of the time or just a portion of the day? Also, Would you mind posting a link to the exact lights you are referring to? Whenever I do a search for Yescom 225 I get various mixed results. Thanks

I left mine on for 18 hours. So it turned on at 7am and turned off at 1am midnight. It was the blurple lights. I never used white lights in the past.

Unfortunately, the Yescomm 225 are out of stock everywhere except for the red LEDs. I haven't found an equivalent at a similar price.

Dang! Well, I always check plain old google too, just to be sure.
