I was looking at my vivarium and thinking about how well my plants are doing but they seem to not get the colors I want...
and then I was walking around town when I came across this little puppy

you can't really tell how big it is because my hands are freakishly big, but it's 25cm long!!!

It's a 65w 65000k 3150 Lumen daylight bulb added on top of the 4 tube T-5 fixture I already have. for now I'm running the T-5 for about 14 hours a day and I'll add the bulb at "high noon" for 2.5 hours, I'll keep adding time with it till I see some good results.
I made a ghetto reflector out of a tin cake dish that actually works very well

I'll keep you guys posted

That looks great! Thanks for posting. What brand is it, and where did you buy it or where can someone else obtain one?

The brand is Orsol, I just found it in a hardware store
here in Jerusalem so I'm not sure where you could get one. When I asked the guy for a 50+
light bulb he gave me the weirdest look and asked me
if I was planning on blinding my neighbors

I actually found an 80Watt one, but I thought it
would be a little much
