Cheato

[fareforce]

What type of light do you guys grow your cheato under.

I want mine to start growing farly fast to fill me fuge. I am currently using a 18w CF bulb I got from lowes. It is one of those twisted ones. It said it was close to daylight. I have had my cheato under it for about 3-4 months, and it hasn't really grown at all.

How can I make this stuff grow? Is it my light? If so, what should I use?

I use a Lights of America 65W bulb at 6500. You can get the flood light (fixture and all) at Walmart for $11.00. I run mine from 10 PM till 8 AM.

Read this. I switched to this bulb and my chaeto went nuts in one week. It's cheap and you won't regret it!

Cheers!
