im zone 3, in prolly the most hostile climate in the lower 48 outside of mountain tops.....without taking into the comfort index or windchill our summer highs are often between 100 and 110......winters see -40 and lower, my elevation is only about 2000ft. humidity is normally very low. the wind pretty much always blows. 30mph is common gusts of 65 arent abnormal...... :grin:

Even 2 weeks isn't long enough for some cases/plants.

I can't grow D. adelae in anything other than straight LFS.

I see that your wattages are all over the place. I've seen you talk about 30 watts, 40, 55, and 60. Just to remind you, be careful and realize that you can't mix and match bulbs. You can't, for example, put a 60 watt lamp into a socket rated for a maximum of 30 watts.

Always be careful with electricity.

I understand that, I just didnt notice the voltage number before

with that in mind, would that bulb do good for dorseras and VFTs?

Judging from the plants in the photos in this thread seems like the light in question seems to do an adequate job.

^^ Thanks, so from that, I can further assume that the Droseras would do fine also

Also, would this bulb grow D.aldea, capensis and VFTs well?
