Wow I love your setup. I just took over the built in workbench that was at our house when we bought it & hung shop lights over that since we don't use the workbench. I think I will need to add another light, so trying to figure out how to set that up if needed. Oh I heard you said you were growing Snow on the Mountain. PLEASE be careful with this plant as it TAKES over your garden. I'm in Milw WI Zone 5B I planted a 3" pot of the variegated one 18 yrs ago & it spread like crazy throughout my bed & even under the grass. It stayed variegated for a a year or two & now is the non variegated one. So now the last 10 years, I have been trying to get rid of it, and it's hard & back breaking too. I dug up the roots & they keep coming back. I sifted thru the roots & they came back. Finally thru over CZcams videos, I figured out something that works which is by covering it with cardboard & a good layer of mulch. I am doing it in phases & I got 2 parts done and got another part to go, but still need to pull out the plants with roots when I see them. I was warned by my neighbor, and didn't research it more. I did love the flowers it had. Best to try to plant some in a pot & see how it takes over before you put it in your garden.
Hey whatever works! When I 1st started I used to use fish tank lights from an old fish tank (that I replaced the lights with lights that were better for growing seedlings) And I used to use books on either end of the lights to do prop them up over the seed trays! And they were in my living room! It felt so Good the 1st year I had actual shelves and shelves Though, Because people would constantly knock into them and break my seedlings' stems! 😡 lol
Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! This beats shelving on so many levels. I’m curious on the bulbs. I know you say cool and warm, but what are the lumens and kelvins? How did you discover this combo works?
A great and less expensive set up!

Oh my goodness, I had no idea it was invasive. Thank you for sharing!!
@@backyardbeauty9283 I guess just research it - looks like there maybe one that isn't too invasive.
