My indoor set up
 

Hey guys. Since having joined this forum a few months ago I have created my own indoor lighting set up and just wanted to share a picture of it. Thanks for all of the information and I would welcome any comments/thoughts about my set up. The light is a 4x4 hydrofarm designer T5HO fixture and the shelving unit is from Lowes.

I started with the shelf and plants a good deal lower than it is now and have been slowly adjusting then upwards. Lots of new growth on many of the plants. Additionally, I have a fan about 4-5 feet away that is helping provide air circulation.

Currently there are 10 Catts, 2 Oncs, 2 phals, 1 paph, and 1 dendrobium.

Looks like a great start!

Looks good to me! You might want to get all the catts closer to the middle of the lights for more footcandles.

I have a similar set up (up to 5 shelves now) with drain trays under the plants. Consider adding one of these trays under the plants so you can water them in place with no mess: Large Boot Tray | Mudroom Supplies | Gardener's Supply
My drain trays were made by a family member, but I read that these boot trays will fit on most shelves of this type. Check the measurements to be sure.

Nice!

Really a nice set up!

Nice setup!

Thanks for all the replies :) Hopefully I can get the higher light plants to re-flower (already got a phal to re-flower).
