Vertical?

[lazaah]

Currently I have a 5ft long, 1.5ft deep two tiered shelf with 2x 54w t5hos about 3ft above each teir.

The bottom tier, I have a humidity chamber for propagation and the rest of the space is used for vege seedlings.

The top tier has about a dozen African violets, several species of carnivorous plants, a largish brassia, a heap of tillisandia/spanish moss, and a fish bowl with a cork mounted Angraecum dideiri and a potted Bulbophyllum tingbarinum.

Neither is enclosed and currently suffers from low humidity.

My goal is to utilise the 4 t5's and a 400w HPS/with adjustable reflector, in a space that houses my tropical species AND propagation/preparation area.

So, anyone grown vertical?

My first considered design is to construct a grow tent style frame, with two or three teirs. Use the 400w to light, from above, a main "sealed" compartment with a mistking nozzel that houses my ornamentals, and then a smaller shelf below to raise seed etc.

Attached is my proposed idea, any one want to pitch in?
If you can think of a better idea, do put it out there!
