Some Ceph Pics

Everything has colored up nicely under my new T5 bulbs. The first pic is of a young "hummer's giant" that I received from RL7836's plant charity. It has really taken off as of late.

This next one is of a typical ceph that I have had now for about 6 months.

Cephalotus!!!!!!! :banana2:
 
Wow, that is some unbeliveable color.
 
awesome cephs! I especially like the teeth on the hummer's giant.
 
the color is simply awesome
 
may i know what is the kelvin of the bulbs, and how many tubes are you using??
 
Yes, color of bulbs and distance the top of the plant is from the bulbs please!
 
Thanks for the comments. The plants are under 2, 48" 54 watt T-5 bulbs. One is a 10000K daylight bulb. The other is a plant-grow bulb. It is also 54 watt, but without searching for the package, I'm not 100% certain on the Kelvins of that one. They also receive light from 1, 48" 40 watt T-8 2800K Flora-Glo bulb. The plants themselves sit about 6-8 inches from the light source. Also, they receive indirect light from a reef tank that sits directly behind it, giving it light from 4 T-5 bulbs. The light cycle is on for approximately 16 hours a day.

It really depends. That light was added after the ceph had already been in there for several months. Any new pitchers that develop usually take anywhere from a week to two weeks to get that really deep color. It really depends for me on the pitcher size and where it is located in the pot. I see almost immediate (few days) coloring of the pitcher, but like I said I would have to guess that it takes about 2 or so weeks in order to achieve that really deep red color.
