wisconsin,snow tonight and monday. joe

Wisconsin, now that is cold! Was there last February visiting family in Crivitz. My 1st experience with that kinda weather.

this is the section with a 1000 watt mh lamp.hard to take decent photo because its so cramped.I have another room with a 400 watt hps lamp and I built a stand that holds six six foot florescent lights and heat pads that I use for cuttings and been getting into growing succulents by seed

Wow, those babies are really packed in there! Actually, looks like they all get very good light exposure the way you have them laid out. Must be a wide table they are on.

What do you water with? That is always a challenge for me under lights because mine are packed in, too, and I don't always want to get a neighbor wet! Also, what is underneath your pots? Gravel trays?

the plants are on the floor.I took eight foot, 2 by 4s and made a perimeter and lined it with plastic.then I took plastic drop ceiling light panels that look like grate and cut those to fit in plastic saucers.to water I use a 2 gallon pump sprayer.they don't get that much water cause most are near dormancy,sort of like just hanging on.I use water from the dehumidifier to water them.
