My current setup.

Light: FLT46 & will soon be adding an FLT44 since I've run out of space under the light. These are great lights and since switching from the LED panels I had, I've seen nicer blushing. Tight growth continues as well! Only downside possibly is that these throw a bit of heat. Not much, but I don't think I'll like this light as much in the summer.

Stands: Right now I've just got a couple of tables. I'm hoping to switch to some sort of rolling half-shelf at some point, but I haven't found the right one.

Pots: From left to right:

6" round plastic pots (Not a fan of these. Replacing with heavier square plastic pots soon)
4" square plastic pots in a heavy duty 1020 tray
2" square plastic pots in a heavy duty 1020 tray
Loose 2" pots because I ran out of trays
a flat plastic tray designed for catching water under long planters, but I use it for props
In case it wasn't clear, I'm a huge fan of those 1020 trays. Due to the height of the light, I need to take out the plants to water them, and pulling out one tray at a time is loads easier. Plus it protects my tables from water damage!

Tools: I recently purchased this kit and I can't believe I didn't have it before! It makes transplanting so much easier, especially for delicate plants or ones with nice farina. (Fair warning, order one that's prime guaranteed. I ordered the same kit from a different seller and 3 months later I still haven't received it.)

Top Dressing: I wanted white pebbles and the top dressing bags they had at nurseries were crazy expensive for such a small amount. So I bought this from Petsmart and I'm really liking it so far! As with any top dressing, I've decreased watering since the soil stays wet a bit longer. It's mostly for looks, and to protect the lower leaves from sitting on the soil directly.

If they're house plant type plants then you'll be fine but if they need full sun then they're going to start getting leggy without a serious grow light eg:

I run T5's and love them because they are cool and dont pull too much energy. I have a 6 lamp 4 foot T5 HO and it does well for everything I have tried to grow so far.

Yes absolutely. I'm currently using similar fixtures with replaced bulbs for my tank. Than from Tidal Gardens also did a video on the topic. The only downside I've found is that there isn't a cover on the bottom, so I have to be careful not to splash too much or accidentally bump into the bulbs. You'll definitely want to change the bulbs because the spectrum of those grow bulbs is really good at going algae.

u/grummle · 1 pointr/hydro

Yeah, I need a fixture like this for another setup I've got so I think I'll see if I can take it apart to do what I want for the other system.
