heh, yes, using lights, that what the giant glare is at the top of the shelf. and exposure of the window? as in which side does it face? Ive gone through this before and i always seem to forget! i do believe it is the south facing window...that or the north but iam pretty sure its the south.

I do not use the lights everyday, i turn them on when i remember haha, but they seem to be happy, no burns as i can see and some plants which were not getting enough light before are very happy and even setting out new shoots (specifically my last remaining Den)

Thanks for the reply. So what type, or kind of supplemental light are you using?. A North facing window gets no direct sunlight. So if you are getting sunlight it must be South facing. I live in SW Florida and grow outdoors under a screened Lanai, but this winter has been so cold I have had to bring a very unweildly collection indoors, and I have no windows with adequate light. Most of them face North, so I am looking to invest in some lighting. I appreciate your help. Thanks Bett

Great setup.

I've seen some of those mini-greenhouses in the shop and I'm thinking of putting one outside my kitchen window in the summer.
