I finally found the perfect setup to grow my small collection under lights! At Lowe's they have the "Garden Treasures Greenhouse" for $40.00. It's a 4-shelf system that comes with a plastic cover. Granted it's a bit rickety, but you can add or remove shelves and it's perfect for a college student's budget
The fixtures are 2' T5s (couldn't find any 3' that weren't astronomically priced special setups) which I wired myself and have a very bright output. You can see my 4 new plants underneath! I only set up 3 of the 4 shelves, so all of the orchids are on top, my rex begonias, african violet and oxalis are in the middle and get some light from above along with some light from the window, and my 2 terrariums w/maidenhair fern and macodes are on the bottom.
My new light table!
