Mike,,,,your second full time job is coming....soon.
Have fun with them.
Marie

Very true, Marie--I still have to figure out the best and most economical lights to use for my adeniums indoors after the summer. Meanwhile I'm busy re-potting all my babies from community trays into single containers--mostly using styrofoam cups and small coir pots. I'm having fun despite recovering from hernia surgery (June 11) at the same time!

Hi Mike,
Your are going to have a nice group of plants.
I used the High Out-Put T5 Flourescents this past winter for my seedlings and they did very well. I watched the hydro bill in comparison to years past not using the lights and it was barely noticeable in cost.
I used 3 x 4' tubes on 6hrs./day to extend the daylight hours.
Very happy with results.

Rick

Congrats on your seeds! I can't wait to see pics of how your dwarf black rcn develop.

Kirk

Thanks Kirk--I sowed them last night, believe me, I'll take photos as they grow! I just HAD to have something dwarf AND black!
And Thanks Rick--HO T5's are what I was thinking of using, maybe paired with the latest tech, LED lights of the same 48" length. I'm not sure at the moment how many I'll need, maybe 2 of each--or twice that depending on how big my seedlings get over the summer. So my electric bill may be somewhat higher.....am even toying with the idea of having a couple of solar panels installed to take up the slack! We'll see how it goes....
