I've started impulsively grabbing vfts from meijer as im walking through whatever. Didn't know how light intensive they were. Trying out different grow lights and pickin carnivorous plant braipossess. So far I've landed 2 36w sansi bulbs and a 4x10w clamp lamp. Now they've gotten much better since repotting and watering for a month. Now id like to research to grow my plant hoard. What does everyone do with the clamp style work lamps? I'm trying to go for a pvc frame but it doesn't seem to work well. I love some of your setups and hope to maybe reach your level of patience and care some of yall posess

I think adding a second layer to split up the lights might help it seem a bit less cluttered, not sure how stable that would be though.
I’d also recommend getting a free app like Photone to measure the ppfd of your setup.
Fly traps are generally recommended to get ~400ppfd and up iirc, you might be able to reach that with just the sansi 4×10 and not need the whole “blaster” lol. I keep mine around 700ppfd under a weed grow light and it would probably be fine at a lower intensity, just not blushing as dark of a red color
I remember you! Looks good lol. Those VFTs are gonna be huge haha
