  • Hey plant enthusiasts! In today's video, we dive into a fascinating experiment comparing the growth of a Pinguicula Moranensis clone under two different lighting conditions. We'll be exploring the impact of natural light from a windowsill versus the use of LED grow lights in an office environment. Prepare to witness the striking difference in size as we uncover the effects of light on this captivating carnivorous plant!
    Thanks for watching.

    nice video, very interesting, thats really a big difference. I noticed with my sundews that some dont open their flowers when put under weak LED lights- outside in the sun or even in shadow they open them without problems.

    Great video once again. For me natural sunlight equals bigger plant. LEDs equals smaller plant more color. Please do a video of the BCAPS show if you have time. I remember selling Star Wars 12 times in 1977.

    I'm sure the natural lighting played a big part but could it also have been the quality/quantity of the insects it was getting? I've seen definite size differences in animals fed a prepared food vs natural/native.

    • @mypingtopia
      @mypingtopia  18 дней назад +1

      Thanks for watching. Insects may play a part increasing the size of the ping. Since, my ping is indoors, there are limited amounts of fungus gnats caught on the pings themselves leading me to believe they did not have a big impact on the growth of the ping.

    Did you take readings at window and grow rack to determine the parameters that drove the growth boost in the window? More CO2 from proximity to people? Higher humidity from kitchen activities? Wider spectrum of light (far red, uv)?

    • @mypingtopia
      @mypingtopia  11 дней назад

      Thanks for watching my video. I’m not scientific to measure any parameters. Just visual observation how my pings look over time.

      @@mypingtopia I’ll see if I can reproduce. I’m growing in a 2x4x7’ tent with full environmental control over temp, humidity, co2. I’ve set some VPD targets to simulate Mexican mountain climate and my lights are extended spectrum 380-780nm 220W spider farmer sf2000 which mimic the sun intensity ramp up and down. I’m about to add additional far red light to the setup for 30 min before and after sunrise/sunset. This can trigger leaf growth and elongation by simulating growing under a canopy where the red to far-red ratio is skewed.

    ::Cheers:: I have used your knowledge to make my Pingdom what it is today, thank you! For the beverage tip, I am currently sipping on Bourbon. I have a thing for high proof whisky, and in my glass tonight is the old faithful Wild Turkey 101, a good daily sipper. With your choice of Hibiki, you may like Monkey Shoulder, it's a blended scotch that has a wonderful flavor.

      Cheers right back at you. So, glad your pingdom is kicking ass. Share your IG, would love to see it. Appreciate your whiskey tips. I went to a street fair on Saturday, burger and brew fest. They had whiskey there, 10th Amendment, several other I forget their name, but it’s growing on me. I get buzzed too fast, lol. I was buzzed off the one drink last night.

    Your windowsill must be low light. I live on the third floor in a South-facing apartment, and my pings grow more compactly in the direct sun on my windowsill than under light.

    • @mypingtopia

      Yes, it’s lower light as I have to share a windowsill with my wife’s plants. 😆 I don’t mess with her plants.

    • @mypingtopia
      @mypingtopia  Год назад +1

      Thanks for stopping by. I have my snow queen under T5 Barrira LED lights. Light is 10 inches above my pings. Snow queen is thriving as I see multiple leaves pointing upwards, which is a good sign. Lights are also in the description of my videos with links to Amazon what I use.
