I know I'm deviating from the beautiful subject of your thread but a few replies here:
-you need a lot of light to grow kingianums, they bloom outside here in SoCal no problem because you can just sit them in a full light no problem... and you've bloomed them just with those spot lights?
-"monies" are beautiful plants for sure just the foliage, hence I'm getting into them too. a little less perfect than neos which look amazing right off the bat, but yeah probably yours need cool dry winters and higher light, but keep me posted if it blooms indoors in your set up. Would be great to enjoy some indoors. Outside they really can tolerate a lot of light, despite their leaves being way thinner than neo leaves. unfortunately snails like the leaves, another reason I'd love to keep them indoors.
-Chinese cyms are a mystery to me but I'm sure I'll bug you about yours on how it's doing indoors in future.
-Re LED's, totally get what your saying. When I use to live on your neck of the woods, in an apt, I got away with growing a blooming a lot of things under flours and HID lights because I think I was able to get day/night temp difference with how warm they and especially the HID light get. Again, just really excited neo's do well without that temp drop, but with LED's not having that added thing may be putting a hamper on flowering success in my grow tanks. As far as changing LED bulbs, well I've been playing around with them for 3-4 years and reduction intensity is a benefit (they're pretty close to the plants) but can't tell if that's what's been going on. if I have to change lights in another how many years, wouldn't be a problem for me.
-bummer on pots, but had already gathered that. Maybe I'll just have a local ceramicists make something for me and see if that's cheaper from ordering international...
