| Looks nice! I always enjoy photos of light gardens. My room is so crowded (and messy!) I can't figure out how to get photos of it! |
|
| Nice setup. Just suggestions: 1. The "spot lights" are not very good. They are more floods then spots. You are losing a lot of light. 2. The amount of light seems marginal for what you are growing. You may want to consider installing a white (mirror mylar the best, if you can find it) pull-down roller window shade on the top shelve to roll down and reflect all the spilled light to the plants when you are not in the room. dcarch |

| but how would I attach it to the sides of my GH? |
|
| It comes with two little brackets, which you will need to find a way of attaching them to wherever you want to mount the roller shade. dcarch |

| All the home stores have them. I have the same kind of setup and when I added the reflex it made a big diffrence. things started to grow |

| nice stquack. is that just taped on? |
|
| Sears also has pull-down shades. You give them the measurements, they will make them for you. dcarch |
|
| No tape just staples. I bought a 25ft x 16"roll for $12 at the big box store. It works good and its really hard to rip. |
|
| if you have a local habitat for humanity or restore store you can get shades from them pretty cheap. |

| ok i'll look at Sears. how did you staple it to your GH? did you hook it to a board first or something? |
|
| hottielover14, I think you can either use a stapler or double-face adhesive tape. The roller is made of wood. dcarch |
