Grow room

Here is my new HL setup. It consists of a 2'x4' hydro hut. I have a 3' metal rack holding all the plants and lights. I have a 6" in-line duct fan connected to a 4" hole in the top of the hut. When closed I will get negative pressure insuring good air exchange. It sit's in my garage when the nights get down to the 40-50 depending on the season.

I'll get more pic's up soon.
 
Awesome!
 
Sweet! Certainly beats mine!
 
Nice fancy setup. Man, I just throw mine outside and that's that haha.. /horrible mother
 
Looks very neat and clean :)
i like it! :D
 
What kind of bulbs and light housing are on top of the metal rack? Good setup.
 
The two top lights are 175 Watt compact fluorescent. They both have glass covers to keep the heat away from the top of the plants. They run very hot (as the ballast is built in the fixture) and that is why they are on the top near the vent hole.

Uber-intense color - especially on the N. platychila. :) Nice going bud!

Ooooh those are nice aren't they :p

That Exotic Lady is a good bit smaller than the other pitchers it was pushing out earlier in the year, so I assume it's because it got repotted recently and went on a plane that it decided to open up something so small...you should be getting some 2X that size soon again :boogie:

Yup, It's a N. clipeata x clipeata x eymae.

Thank you sir!

Yeah, I figured the same thing. I might repot it again and put it in my soil mix, but I'll wait a little while for it to acclimate before I stress it again.
