I had a big daylight LED batten in my livingroom and set it up. Lets see if this light also do the trick.


PPFD also suited for roses.

I have kinda an explosion of germination right now, they popping up by the hour. Ive created a new setup McGuyver style and a LED growlamp is comming via the mail soon hopefully. Ive a lot seedlings stored at Rob…but there are a lot. A few White after Rain didn’t make it but last few days more popped open and are greenish. The first two where pale/albino.

Nice use of stiff? pvc? piping.

Used similar structure when setup a misting system using thin, light, plant irrigation tubing and tiny rotating sprinkler heads - plastic covered enclosure and had run off recirculation. Used when had many out of zone cuttings - retired it as moved away from large number of cuttings.

I should of done something similar for my crosses that I brought in this year.

It’s piping of a pop up canopy i modified. Its aluminium material. It works like a charm so far. Lets hope it holds when I put more lights on the structure.

Very nice TimoNL! May I ask the parents of your striped seedling? I have been experimenting with Ferdinand Pichard, but I have nothing quite that nice yet.

They are beautiful, congratulations @TimoNL ! I really like that striped one, and you got a very nice looking blotch on the third one! Also lovely peachy color on the first one. I hope they will all stay healthy and look forward to more updates!

I used New Imagine on Warm Welcome. I hope Warm Welcome passes on its good health. It is the first one which blooms and wondering if it passes on its stripes also easy. I used a few striped roses but they all failed.
