Digital light meter says at the bottom its 2700 lumens, so as it grows it will receive more.

I've never used straight moss and GH before =] any tips would be nice

I'm going to make holes once it has more roots its a 5 day old cutting, just started having roots.

I need a resistor so I can make it run off a USB port or 5v dc... I can't find my 4.5v dc... I think I stripped the wires on it making colloidal silver, and after threw it away.

I tried hooking it up to USB without a resistor... so now I'm using a 9 LED one... which puts off less lumens then the 5 LED I just broke ={

Cool little project you got going. :)

Can you give some details of the LED used...

Maybe wrap a little foil or mylar around the neck of the bottle to act as a sort of reflector...get your light focused a bit.

You mean 2700 lux right...

Yes I mean Lux. The LEDs are from flash lights.... the ones that take 3 AAA batteries... they have similar white LEDs.
The relfector for the 5 LED was more efficient then the 9 LED. Pics soon for new one

Just be careful not to cook the LEDs... (too many amps through the diodes) :)

ok so should I open up a 9v and use half of the cells? I though it would just take what it needs out of the batteries, I though just a DC supply would push out a certain amount and need a resistor... I have not done much with electronics other then plug fan in... for like 8 years

I've never used moss before... there is a strange smell coming from it... a smell I have never smelt before. It reminds me of roting plant mater and perfume. I'm going to switch this plant with one I have in rockwool its a cutting with the same age.
