Thank-you.
Is it possible to colour correct videos?? That would make it easier to watch.

Interesting, and cool box, I don't unerstand your speech
He did say it was in Italian....
Preziosi! But that's great! I've just made a grow-box for the hopefully soon arriving seedlings! Only need to add a pc-ventilator ... now it's 29ºC/85% humidity.
Lovely to hear 'schluckebieria' in italian ... lunglunglung ... likely to forget, like the rest of stxxxxx names!:rollhappy::rollhappy: (like anneliesia and sauerbieria and ... so on!)
Just one question - how do you manage to grow cool-loving species like besseae and warmth-loving seedlings like roth's and philippinense's together in on space for a longer time? Or is this just a 'over-winter-box' for some of the plants?
Grazie, ragazzo!

this is the winter setting as you said
during summer I move them to another area.
right now I have 20C and 80% RH for the night, 26-27C and 65% RH with the light on, in winter the low temperature drops to 17-18

Lovely to hear spoken Italian again! Your collection looks
extremely healthy and well-grown.

They are growing well. How long each day do you have your L.E.D. lights on?
the photoperiod is 12-14 hours day
the led lamp is composed of 100 LEDs BRIDGELUX, single reflector 90°, it's a full spectrum:
730nm : IR-Far red
660-670nm : Deep Red
630-640nm:Red
525 nm:Green
610nm: Orange
470nm: Royal blue
430nm: Blue
3500k - 7000k
these are the data of the light emitted:
Distance Par(umol) Lumen(lm)
30cm 1200 51000
50cm 750 34000
100cm 220 11000
150cm 95 5600
200cm 55 3000
nominal consumption 300w
actual consumption 180w
Now that I have drastically downsized, all of my plants are under LEDs.
Taller plants are under two 48" Philips Greenpower white/deep red production modules suspended about a foot over the plants on a 48" x 18" shelf.
I got a bit creative with the lighting for the smaller plants on the upper shelf - I had four of the terrarium / plant lights I sold that had been damaged in transit. All had the screw-in base damaged, so I simply broke them off, pop-riveted them to a 48" x 1.25" x 0.125" aluminum strip, and hard wired them together, giving me the equivalent of a 50 watt strip.
