C-Fern Web Manual - C-Fern Light Stand Make a Simple C-Fern Light Stand With inexpensive and simple materials you can easily construct a C-Fern light stand.
MATERIALS PVC pipe and connectors
TOOLS hacksaw, tape measure, marker When your Light Stand is finished, you’ll need a light source. For C-Fern, use a 2 foot fluorescent fixture (4 - F20 watt cool white bulbs) OR a 4 foot fluorescent fixture (2 - F40 watt cool white bulbs) OR 2 or more dome reflector fixtures with screw-in 25 watt fluorescent bulbs (100 watt equivalent). Grow your C-Fern cultures inside a Culture Dome or C-Fern Growth Pod under continuous light and at a temperature of about 28 C (82 F). Adjust temperature inside the Culture Dome or Growth Pod by varying the distance between it and the lights.
