In a different thread, JimsPlants asked for some photos of my indoor growing setup. I plan to take photos of all of the indoor growing areas I have, but tonight I just snapped a few photos of my one grow rack in my office. There are 5 shelves on it and I only took three photos, so the lighting isn't the best in all of the photos, but hopefully you can see some of what's going on Feel free to ask if you have any questions about the setup or the plants in the photos.

I currently have 2.6 indoor setups like that, meaning that I have one grow rack with 5 shelves and another one with 3 shelves, soon to be full up with 5 shelves. I plan on adding a third as I need the space.

Yep, everything you see in those photos is out of tissue culture. I don't do anything the "old fashioned" way anymore unless I'm repotting and the plants have divided naturally. I don't sow any seeds other than those I start in vitro.

They are just standard storage shelves that you can get at quite a few places, I think. I get mine from Costco:

You can sometimes find them on sale for $80.

Thanks Peter!

Jaws wrote:Each level is how many watts ?

Each level has 4x32 watt bulbs, or 128 watts.

Jaws wrote:So a foot high at that wattage is ok for good growth then i take it.

A foot high what? Do you mean having the plants one foot away from the lights? The plants are actually only about 6 inches from the lights.
