Quick update: I've got a brand new grow rack setup. A couple of weeks ago Lowes had a great sale on adjustable wire rack shelving. My new shelf is 4ft long, 18inches deep, and 6 ft tall. A total of 5 shelves. I then went ahead and ordered the correct amount of Panda Film to help reflect as much of the light onto the plants as possible. On 2 shelves I also was able to find white drip trays. My next goal is to replace some of the fluorescent lights. I currently have 1 4ft 2-bulb T-5 HO fixture, 1 2ft 4-bulb T-5 HO, and 1 4ft 2-bulb T-8. Ultimately I'd like each shelf to have 4ft 2 or 4bulb T-5HO. In my previous pics it seemed like I had a decent collection until I organized them into the new grow rack...Now it feels TINY! haha. I use the bottom shelf for non-carnivorous plants, starting bulbs, etc. You'll also see air plants hanging on the rack w/ the use of thin floral wire. I just set it up this evening so I don't have any stats or plant-specific progress pics to share. Still needs some fine tuning and better lighting but all-in-all I'm very pleased with it. Enjoy!

I leave the smaller light off...Only had it turned on to show them all lit up. I will eventually use the VERY top shelf above the 2ft fixture for starting seeds d/t closer proximity to the light.
