Ok guys, so I just got the go ahead from my wife to start on an earnest grow room in our home on the water. She has graciously allowed me to use the aft cargo hold, if I remove the life jackets flotsam jetsam etc. I have a 25 x 15 space. So I want to see what others have done. Let me know what works and especially what didnt work. If you have some plants to brag about go ahead and post pictures of them too. The big thing here is pictures so I can learn! Thanks all!

No pictures, it's also a junk room and very, very messy. I'm trying to correct that. Anyway, here's a link to a verbal description of my growroom if that helps:

You are going to be growing on a boat/ship? Wow! Changing climates, salt breezes, rocking to and fro - lots of interesting challenges!

I have two grow areas

A wardian case that I call my tank: There are more pics in the gallery

And my "upstairs grow area": Once again, there are more in my gallery

We've been onboard for two years, and they seems to like the humidity and the sun.

Here is the winter home. Under 4 flourescents per rack, south facing window. I use the lights to increase day length during winter. Pics are mostly same plants, just different layouts. Almost everything goes outside in the summer.
