So today I finally stopped by Lowes and picked up some wire to hang my lights below a shelf instead of sitting on top of them and rearranged all my plants while I was at it.
Here's the current setup:

I'm having a difficult time keeping the humidity up in my plant room. It's roughly a 70sf room. I have an ultrasonic humidifier from walmart but it's already begging to quit, I don't know if I got a bad one or what. I can get the humidity up to 90% with heavy spraying but I want something that...
Here is my new-ish highland set up:
It was designed by me, but my dad built it for me... :P (What a great dad :D )
It is a tube thing with a fan on the end of it, and an opening for the ultrasonic humidifier. Pretty simple, but also pretty effective. I only keep it on at night, and the plants...
So I set up a new 5"x3"x1.5" indoor green house and have the front flap open with all my plants now inside. I plan on setting up a fan soon so that I can close the front, put my humidifier inside, and circulate/expel air.
Question: I have 2 2 foot, 2 bulbs fixtures on the top rack with all my...
hey all,
i was wondering, for those of you who run a humidifier on the same timer as the lights in a grow rack... do you run the fan on the same timer? it seems to make the most sense to me, but i thought i'd check.
So on the advice of a wonderful forum member, I check out the local salvation army today. I walked out with an extension cord, an old coffee maker to cannibalize a cord ffor my new light fixture, and a NEW ReliOn ultrasonic humidifier. Grand total? $2.75
Now the real questions:
Can I just use...
So I need to get a humidifier for my new grow rack, but have never dealt with one and am relatively naive about them. I will probably try getting one through ebay/craigslist simply because I don't have the funds for a new one, but what features should I be looking for/afraid of in one?
Thanks!
Kyle
Since I just made some major changes to my growing tactics and conditions, I thought I should start a thread. Originally, my Heliamphora was all kept with the rest of my Highland Neps as well as all of my other indoor CPs, which is still how I have them, but it is now more that all my other...
Guys,
Special ends this Saturday. Time to get the Sunpentown Humidifier from Walgreens. Check this out:

So I'm looking at upgrading my humidifier. Right now I have one of those portable ones that you stick a water bottle on top of. It's alright but it's annoying refilling it so often and I'm also expanding out onto a second shelf in my grow rack and I don't think this little thing has the oomph to...
I recently received a Venus Flytrap and Drosera Spatulata in the mail. They both came pretty banged up. I left them in a bowl of distilled water for about two days, and transplanted both the drosera and flytrap in a clay pot (two separate pots) using only long fiber sphagnum moss.
A few...
Hi all,
I finally got around to setting up the new grow rack I've been planning for months. Thank you again to everyone who gave me their input.
Once the semester starts and I settle back into the teaching groove, I'll post a more detailed build journal. For now, I'll just leave you with a...
I have a 20 gal terrarium I will setup for heliamphora. Can somebody give me a list of everything I need to keep the plants cool, I will be keeping them in an AC'd room where I will put it at 67F at night and 77F during the day.
What lights should I use, what sort of ventilation, I am getting a...
Hello,
I'm leaving for vacation tonight but my only problem is I have nobody to water my neps. Because of this I think what I'm going to do is set them in shallow trays with about one inch of water (1/2" for plants with a mix with a lot of LFS in it) I'm only going to be gone for a week and they...

Hello all,
I just wanted to post a few photos of my newly setup Heliamphora grow chamber. A huge thank you goes to Butch for all the great advice to help me set this up similar to his.
Here is a great thread with advice from him.

Hey folks -
Being that there are so many people here with a) way more experience than I have in building grow chambers and b) a much better understanding of thermodynamics than me, I thought I would reach out to see anyone had any bright ideas for me.
Basically, I recently re-did my grow rack...
Hi all -
I've decided to re-do my grow rack yet again. All this was undertaken with the idea of getting better ventilation and better humidity for my Nep collection that I'm slowly stepping up. Here's what I did:
What I started with
Step 1 - gather the supplies
Step 2 - strip my grow...
I had "quit" Nepenthes and all growing of plants in late 2006 early 2007 but I have been slowly sucked back in starting with succulents in 2009 and vivariums in 2010 and now (inevitably) here is my new Highland Nepenthes chamber. It's based on the same principle as my old one but using a new...
