Hey everyone, I was going to post these last week but I deleted the pictures by accident, so I just retook a couple today. Theres really nothing that interesting happening as I've just repotted all my Orchids and CP's and It'll take a couple weeks before anything really starts to show off. Outside View With Doors Open From Right to Left. Orchids- Pluero's, Mini Bulbo's, Mounted stuff and a couple Anthurium species. More Orchids- Rare species, larger Bulbo's, other mounted stuff More orchids- Same stuff All large Bulbo's with Tillandsias hanging above. Small Nepenthes Random Area of highlight Orchids, Nepenthes, Cephs, Heli's Stuff for trading and small division. And I just had to add this because I love it, these pitcher last for 6-9 months!

Just beautiful, Justin! I have been looking at indoor grow tents, because I really need to get my grow space organized. Caring for the plants would be so much easier having them closer together like that.
That albo pitcher looks yummy, excellent colors on it (and the foliage).
Any problems with temps inside with all the lights?
BTW, what size is the tent?
Regards,
Christer

Christer, it does make life easy, you just walk in and water!
The temps do get high for my liking, even though everything is warm growing. It gets to 28-31 during the day and 18-21 at night. I'm installing a temp control soon and because the temperatures outside my place are always cool it shouldn't be a problem getting night and day temps to an even 17-25.
I have a handful of intermediate plant (Neps, Heli's and Cephs) the I try to accommodate but the setup is really just for Bulbo's
The tent is two inches shy of 8'x8' I wish it was 9'x9' because then might lights wouldn't touch but it was a good price so I went with it. This one for me was only $250.

Very impressive collection anr nice setup! well done! looking forward for few flowers I see you grow most of your Bulbos in Sphagnum. Have you ever tried.the the new Hygrolon Sphags? Its vrry the sameas Sphagnum but its total decompostable. My problem with pure Sphagnum was always that it rotted very fast and alwasy was too wet. With Hygrolon you dont have this problems. You also can cut it in the needed size. Really worth a try! Max

Thanks for the info, Justin.
Yes, having quite cool base temperature would be best, and then having the lights raise the daytime temperatures. I will have to ponder more about a good solution for my conditions.
Regards,
Christer
