What a nice stand! You sure will have a lot of fun filling it up and it won't take as long as you might think! Happy growing!

Thanks, Barb.

I see now that the picture posting worked. I'll share more pics as I am able.

Does anyone have any tips on how to keep the quality/focus good on the ones that you take close up. I think I remember seeing someone mention that in one of the Program Subject Suggestions.

I have an 8 megapixel camera, but I have not yet been able to figure out how to get them to be as clear as I want so that I can share details.

It all depends on your camera. Check to see if your camera has a Macro mode. Typically it's identified by the picture of a little flower. That enables you to get up closer to what you're taking a picture of. Otherwise, you're somewhat restricted to how close you can get.

As for focusing, get what you want in focus in the middle of your shot, then press down halfway on the shutter release. You'll notice it focus in on what's in the center of the shot. Then you can press down the rest to take the picture, or first move the shot if you don't want what's in focus right in the middle of the picture, then press down fully.

I'll have to search for the manual to my camera.

Here's another one that's a little closer.

Dora,

Great stand. It's so nice to see one with room to grow and add new plants to.

Is the lighting adjustable? Standards usually like the light 10-12" away, semis and minis like 6-8". It is measured from the top of the plant to the tube. Things being propagated usually like 6-8" too.

I'll be waiting to see a picture of this in 6 months....

Barbara,
Thanks! I bet in less than 6 months, every space on every shelf will be full. Then I will have to stop adopting and parenting any new kids.

I measured the very top shelf where the propogating is going on - its 7 inches from plant to bulb.

The middle shelf (where I shared the close up) is 6 inches between plants and bulbs.

I'm only 10 inches on the 3rd shelf where the standards are. I'll have to figure out how to lower that shelf...or raise it so I can add more minis and then put all my standards on the bottom, LOL.
It's just a matter of loosening the screw and moving the frame for the 3rd shelf.

It will really be cool to compare this week with what it looks like in 6 months.
