My grow chamber (update 4-25-16)

I like that 80 degrees, warmth like that really helps germination and growth.

Do you have reflective material on both sides? I tried that instead of adding more light a few years back and it made a world of difference in how they reach for light and how leggy they get. I really like light coming from different directions, not just the top.

I wrapped that material on 3 sides and then added flat white poster board on the front but the poster board isn't reflecting enough light. I may pick up another roll of that material and cover the poster board today and see what that does.

Another Update --

I decided to add a set of lights to the lower shelf, in doing so I can add the water trays under the flats and spread them out so that there is more air circulation.

You may have a more critical eye than I do, Circle-M ...

They sure look good to me!

Thanks Steve.

I don't know about having a more critical eye. Maybe I'm just use to seeing the tomatoes that I grow in the greenhouse.
We'll see what happens now that I added the second lights and I have a fan on each level also. The added lights and extra air movement should strengthen up the plants.

Did some transplanting today and I do think that these little 4 week old tomatoes were do.

No that's a craft cutting mat. Its 24"x36" and the best things that I found to put on my planting bench for planting seeds and transplanting. My GF had one for crafts that she did and I got the idea to get one for the planting bench.

Good idea. My wife uses one of those for cutting fabric for sewing. That ought to be really easy to clean.
