Yeah you an go active or none active then choose how fast you want growth as well as what color flower. Cacti are some of the neatest plants for sure.

Beautiful collection dude.
I love how you can just put in the ground where you live. That crested monster one in the middle is sick, where did you snag that one

Nice collection booboo!
At the moment I have one Grandiflorus and one San pedro growing in my makeshift garden. Planning on growing some more trichs this year once the weather get right.

I actually not sure on that. Wish I could grow pot but that's a not possible due to smell and being illegal. Maybe move my mushroom grow into the tent as a ghetto "CO2 generator". Here are some updated pics! of a few other LEDs I had around and my pupping T. Bridgesii Monstrose Thanks for looking!
