Then Ian and I compiled information from his many very informative posts on artificial lighting. This is a huge amount of information and will make a very handy reference that gets refered to again and again.
*We could use some more images for this article. If anyone has some images that fit the subject that they'd like to share, please post here.
The third article is one that I wrote that covers a little history on the name "Cactus". I ran into some conflicting information while researching this and think I've sorted it out to get the more accurate data. If anyone has feedback on this, please let me know.
PS. The "forum hothead" that is mentioned is not anyone on this forum. It stems from an encounter I had on another forum. A guy attacked me saying that this whole website is flawed because I use the term "cacti" .
All Cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are Cacti
Oh, I forgot to mention. As more articles are included, I tried to group them. Cultivation and Conservation are easy groups, but I'm not sure I like the "Educational" and "Editorial" categoris.
Wow, those were fun to read, there's more there than I remember!
I would suggest that since the list header is "Index of Articles" you can remove the word "Articles" from the sub headers as it becomes redundant. The last category does not really contain "editorials" (which more often than not implies "opinion") but does contain really interesting essays, I would change the sub header there to "Miscellaneous" if I felt I needed to be acedemic, or "Fun Stuff" if I didn't!
It’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.

Looking great! That lighting article is super. The topic comes up witout fail every late summer/autumn. It will be great to be able to refer people there. (politely!)
Dont know if this will be helpful, but this is what 4, 110 watt vho reef aquarium lamps look like. 2 actinic (blue) and 2 daylight spectrum.
I tried them for seedlings, most of them were stressed by the intensity. I wonder what would have happened if I would have turned the three 175 watt 10,000 k, metal halide's on too? POOF!
Ian, that Hypertufa article is the same exact one Andy posted within the forum. We just made it easier to get to this way.
Thanks Tony for the pics. And I must say, I didn't do very much at all on the light article. Pretty much just dug out the text and posted it. Ian really did all the work!
