Couldn't access to internet since last Thursday due to some problems, finally it's fixed.
Back to the topic. Wow, your long red fingers is fantastic, Cuda. Mine doesn't show that kind of red colour band on the trap/teeth.
I was told by a friend from overseas that the red colour appearance is caused by the difference in the day and night temperature. There must be at least 10°C difference to make the intense colour appearence. I don't know how true is this but that sounds like it explained why the VFT colour is not as intense in summer at your place.
Maybe we should see your experiment on your new lighting, it is much appreciated if, perhaps you could also help us to record down the temperature (day and night) in your place for comparison, is it summer now?

TS, it is summer right now but we have been having some whacky weather all season, some nights have been real chilly low 50's and tons rain im starting to get real sick of it we havent had much of a nice summer. Anyways yup theres a diffrence between summer trap color and growth than there is in spring and fall trap color and growth. Durring spring and fall the traps are much closer to the ground and the color is much more deeper, durring summer months the traps grow on longer taller leafs and are less intense in color, though dont get me wrong there are VFTs that produce real deep color even in summer months. Daytime and nightime temps durring spring and fall are much cooler and the photo period diffrent than durring the summer months.

Recording day and night temps durring fall and spring wont be a prob at all and i will gladly help with that, the VFTs are under the new lighting they do seem to slightly getting more intense in trap color but its only been few days i wont know for sure for atleast 2 to 3 more weeks. But i will keep everyone updated on this test... I still have not herd back as to persay about the bulbs this one grower is using, TOP SECRET MAYBE Who knows but im gona keep askin till they give me a answer... I WANT THOSE BULBS!!!!
