Hi all,
I'm a newbie here--been playing with CPs for about a month. Anyway, I live in an rather dark apartment where I can only get full sun on my balcony for about 2-3 hours in the morning, shade all the rest of the day. I'd like my common VFTs to develop that deep red color in their traps but I'm afraid there isn't enough sun on my balcony for that. So, I'm considering an indoor terrarium with flourescent lighting. Is it possible to achieve the deep red trap coloration that I see in some pictures of common VFTs with 3-4 20 Watt cool white flourescents at about 8 inches away from the plants (for 16 hours per day)? Has anyone done this? Expert opinions?
Anyone have pictures of their setup?
