# I had intended to talk about materials until seeing how many times I…

_Posted by Dave\_opuntiaface on 2023-10-23_

I had intended to talk about materials until seeing how many times I changed things around since June. The perfect, most aesthetically pleasing-to-me design just does not accommodate a herd of this size.

After experimenting with tables and stands I already owned, I’m down to two full racks (the 14-inch deep IKEA Omar). I put some panel lights in there for no other reason than to change the stark, white hole (as in the opposite but the same effect of a black hole). The tall guys are actually responding to it.

Do I have a confusing/conflicting sun source for these plants? Probably. Do I understand photosynthesis? Barely. Are all my plants under one roof and prepared for Winter. Yass.

Thank you 🙏 One of these pictures was at a point when I “only” had around 40 plants set up (the rest were back at my old place). There is an obvious answer there ha.
