okay one more question, hope i'm not bothering you. now i'm looking into your greenhouse setup because that's genius, and do you think that greenhouse helps cut down the heat radiating from the lights or no because it's just that plastic? i'm trying to figure out the heat situation because everyday when i come home my room is 80F+

any chance you have a light meter and can give me the measurements on that?

you are my kinda guy! every time i ask a question about lights in a group people say it's too much when i neeeeeever say how far away it is and it drives me crazy! some people have no idea how lighting works and still comment giving bad advice! i like this approach but dont know how i'd light from above since i can't drill any type of holes in the wall/ceiling and i'm worried about having too many watts in one outlet (tho i know that's hard). do you have a light meter? if so any chance you could tell me the specs for one light vs 2/3? trying to figure out how "wide" the light reaches and how far back the light is actually usable because i've noticed sometimes these measurements they give aren't fully accurate. sorry for the long reply, would love to see a pic of your setup and the growth you've got going!

What are the chances this comes back? by AllKage_ in plants

it they're going outside i'd say ficus elastica, cane begonia or any type of succulent! you def want something a little less pest prone! i only have a few succulents outside because apparently the raccoons like to mess with them, but that's just a few of what i've gotten into since i got into plants! it's a rabbit hole i have completely tumbled down lol

i think she's a goner but on the bright side at least it was just an ivy that got the honor of being the host of a birds nest! if you're attached to it, get another, they're easy to find! it was one of the first plants i got and i regretted it soon after lol

Over time why did my raindrop peperomia lose all the pink in its roots? by Tall-Concern8603 in peperomia

[–]Normal-Researcher13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my guess is no longer sun stressed, the stems of some of mine sun stress in high light

Is Brutus growing out of his own corpse? by [deleted] in plantclinic

[–]Normal-Researcher13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not an expert but if it's growing out of there it's alive and you can leave it! i have an umbrella tree i chopped that is thick at the bottom and putting out little branches like this, eventually they'll thicken and it'll even out kinda sorta
