Default Richard's Indoor Propagation

Here's my indoor setup for propagation this year (quite scaled down from previous years!) This is in the sun room of my house, facing ENE.

In the photo can be found:
  • A cheapo 2' x 4' folding table with a piece of particle board on top for uniformity and insulation
  • On the particle board there are two 4' x 1' heating mats
  • On the heating mats are 4 rectangular 72-hole plug trays with hoods and drip trays
  • Overhead is a "Sun Blaster 48" - a commodity 4' by 8-bulb T5HO 6500K fixture
  • The lamp fixture is suspended by a commodity "Sun Stand 2" stand.

The heating pads are controlled by a timer set to come on from 5pm to 9am.
The light fixture is also on a timer from 7am to 4pm.
Next week I'll be filling up the plug trays and the whole growing process begins!
