Default Re: Just some of my tills

Thanks for the info funkychips. I recently installed a 500 watts metal halide plant light at the ceiling above my plants. Will see if that does the trick. I've placed all the sun loving Tills under the lighting.

The lighting is super bright I tell you. Kinda like having a super nova in the house. So I decided to put it on timer from 10am to 1pm so that when I get back from work at night, the house is cooler and it does not seem like I have aliens in my house (because of the bright lights).

On the first day I tried out, the timer did not work properly and the light was still on when I got home at night. When I got home, from the parking when I look up it looks like my apartment block is a lighthouse. I can see a beam of light coming out through the window of my apartment. Hope my neighbours from another block do not think that aliens have landed in my apartment.

I had a shock when I got into the house. My entire living hall was swarmed with insects because of the lights. But it's good ina sense as my Drosera had their filled that night. Caught as many insects as I could and feed them to my CPs.
