Glowing Petunia

[WillyCKH]

Pretty neat that they glow in the extreme dark. I can actually see a little bit of the glowing in a pitch black room after adjusting my eyes for a few minutes. People say that the lighter flower ones will glow on the flowers as well. And the roots are supposed to be glowy too! The brightness depends on each individual clone (they are SG), as some don't glow as bright, or not as all...

F2.8 ISO3200 30s, with and without dim lighting from the camera's display, no additional editing beside cropping.

That's really fascinating Willy!

I need to feed them about once every 2 weeks now, I think once they matured, I will have to feed once a week.

Few weeks ago:

And that's just you turning the lights off and they glow that bright!? Damn, that's neat!

It's taken by the camera using long exposure mode, 30 seconds and high ISO. They are glowing brighter than before but just like a blob of green dim glowing thing in the dark. I can't make out of the shapes and details in the dark but still pretty neat!

They have been growing well and now glowing even brighter! The pink flowers glow the brightest.

Are they naturally bioluminescent?
Very neat and another plant added to my wish list haha.

They are GMO that's why they can glow. I'll try to propagate the plants, mine are running out of space on the aerogarden. Message me if you are interested.
