Spider Farmer - Glow30 - 32W
Product Information:
The Spider Farmer Glow30 is a set of 4 x 13” (8W) grow lights for a total of 32W. These have a balanced spectrum and can provide flexible lighting for up to a 2’ x 2’ grow shelf/area. The small and versatile sizing allows for use in small spaces such as cabinets, bookcases, and other areas where larger lights would not fit.
NOTE: Lights have free shipping and will ship separately from plants.
Wattage: 32W
LEDs: ~2.18 μmol/j; non-dimmable
Dimensions: 13.5”L x 1.77”W x 1.46”H
PPF: 69.84 μmol/s
Species: medium light species like Pinguicula, Utricularia, Nepenthes, and many Drosera as well. High light species at close distances can also work.
Lighting:
Lighting is one of the most important aspects of growing carnivorous plants. Most carnivorous plants prefer very strong light, and the best results come from high quality LED grow lights. Not only does it stimulate fast growth, the plants will attain beautiful coloration — bright red tentacles on Sundews, red mouths on Flytraps, pink/purple/red on Tropical Butterworts, and deep reds on Sarracenia just as a few examples (some species will stay green in bright light but will be healthier). Sundews will produce more dew under proper lighting (not usually an issue with water, but lighting)! Bright light can make the plants a bit more compact and robust, but the increased health and better appearance are absolutely worth it.
Using LEDs is simple, and most designs have a dimmer switch to adjust the light intensity. Mount them over your growing area and roughly calculate the light intensity based on distance and dispersion.
Cheap LEDs are too weak, extremely energy inefficient, and limited in spectrum (types of light “color” that plants need). High quality LEDs are essential for healthy plants and will use far less energy and produce less heat (and last for many, many years). I’ve personally vetted and used these LEDs for my plants and can attest to their quality and function.
