James, good to know. I will try to keep the cacti more on the dry side.
One question I forgot to ask, have you ever measured the soil temperature of your plants on a sunny day in Arizona?
I'm curious what plants kept outside there keep for a soil temp on sunny days compared to here.
Daisy..thanks for the warning. I have T5 HO lights and then a new kind of LED T5 that I'm trying out with those....the pure red+blue LEDs made my eyes/head hurt and the plants looked awful under them.
For the silver torch....I am not sure...I guess I can try to use some larger gravel pieces as a top dressing like it has now, to hold it upright. It is not too big...probably about 13 inches tall.
