Humidity Cart Finally Finished

[Grandma M]

Finally finished hanging lights today.
Top shelf - 2 T5 48"
Middle shelf - 1 T5 48"
Bottom shelf - 4 bulb T5 unit 48"

The second picture shows the hoses I use to drain everything into an under-the-bed tray.

I needed help to lift the large, heavy cover up to the top shelf (48 X 24 X 72 with zippers ).The rest of it was easy, a do it yourself job.

I followed Gwens design but changed it a bit to meet my needs. Thanks Gwen.

I'M LAZY - I didn't want to take each individual plant out to water it, wait for it to stop dripping, then put it back again.

I drilled 1/2" holes in each of the 11" X 22" trays and inserted little drain units. I attached a hose to each one and they drain into the under-the-bed tray on the floor. I use a pond pump to empty that into the larger bucket on the right side. That is the lazy man/woman way to grow orchids. Now I can water them where they are.

The larger bucket gets pumped, with a sump pump, into a sink near by. You can see the green garden hose on the floor,left side. I have a 3 1/2" fan on each shelf.

Now I need to sort out my plants according to the amount of light they need. That will take a bit of time, and a bit of thought.
