nice setup savage. i have been meaning to start a cacti garden too.
cacti gardens are great as they do not use up precious water.

Use the lava rock as a top dressing as it's quite porous and allows for rain to get through and excess moisture to dissipate. Marble tends to hold too much moisture, not ideal for cacti gardens.

Some close-ups of the cacti:

Kind of random but I just wanted to express my excitement. I saved up some money and bought a lot of the seeds ive been wanting. Here's what I got
2 var ariocarpus fissuritis Ariocarpus restus Astrophytum asteria var super kabuto and var nodum Echinocereus dasaycanthas 3 var of echinocereus triglochidiatus Lophophora diffusa, korheshii and fricii var alba flora
In a few month with trades! I should have all kinda of seedlings and I expect some of these to trade like hot cakes

Hello guys im new here. I planted my super strong 7pod/7pot chili's to late for them to get any fruit. So I decided to buy an over-sized 200w "low energy" grow light to move my poor snail eaten kamikaze-plants indoor. I live in Scandinavia so I kinda didn't have a choice since soon it will be to cold as hell. While purchasing the lamp i remembered my childhood dream to grow Peyote and Pedro's in my wardrobe. And well I guess I joined the club. Bought the seeds,soil,gravel and sand and got started about two weeks ago.
Since years of reading here I've come to realize you like pictures, so before I post my questions. Here are some fresh pics.
My unfinished set-up.

A little Peyote 2-ish weeks old.

Now my chilli has to get 13-14 hours of light per day for fruit developement. I want to know if my seedlings are okay with that amount of light. Also the light are in the red spectrum (wrong word?). So basically can my seedlings handle the light condition that are optimized for my flowering chili's? What will the lack of "blue light" do to my little cacti?
A link to an indoor cacti grow FAQ/guide (with artificial lightning) would be greatly appreciated. I have searched but i do admit i suck on it. I am sorry for that but would be grateful for any help/tip/link concerning light for cacti. Thank you all

i'm about to make dinner so i'll find you some links later if no one else answers but i must insist you put the extention cord/all electric above the plants. Water and things that recieve water go below the waste, and electricity goes above the waist in a grow room nice plants btw Edit: Welcome to the E.G.
