Is anyone growing this under florescent lights?

[zxyqu]

Yup. Sadly she suffered a bit of roots loss and I didn't get any early flowers. I just put I outside for the summer though, so hopeful for some fall flowers.

[Shawna]

Was the root loss caused by the lights or something else?

[zxyqu]

Not related. The loss was due to my lack of paying attention. I changed it's cultural conditions and didn't think about what that would do to the media and water retention. Grows well under lights but takes a ton of light to flower. Did you have some questions about the light?

[Shawna]

I have 4 - 40watt tubes like shop lights. 2 cool & 2 warm. I just got this plant today. I'm hoping that will be enough light. What do you have for lights?

[zxyqu]

I put mine under my 4 bulb T5s. Maybe about 1 foot underneath which gives me about 2000-2500 FCs.

[Shawna]

Ok. I will see what happens. It is in peanuts & spag.

Beautiful! I have one of these and I grow it under lights too. I also put it outside for the summer but mine isn't big enough to bloom yet.

[Shawna]

Mine is blooming size but probably will take awhile yet.
